I received my PhD in clinical psychology from Virginia Tech in 2021, and I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pittsburgh. My research focuses on understanding depression's chronicity, specifically neural vulnerabilities that persist in depression after treatment, that put an individual at greater risk for a future relapse/recurrence and long-lasting residual symptoms. I aim to use this program of research to help inform and develop recovery-oriented clinical practices for depression that address persistent neural vulnerabilities. Recently, I have begun working in ABCT leadership, specifically serving as chair of the Neurocognitive Therapies and Translational Research (NTTR) special interest group. In this role, I have worked on several initiatives to help bridge the gap between neuroscience research and the clinic, including helping organize events like this summit, to encourage continued discussion between neuroscientists and clinicians.
