Research

At Washington University, I participated in the Cognitive and Occupational Performance Laboratory under the direction of Erin Foster, PhD, OTD, OTR/L. My work primarily focused on the MEDEX study, a collaboration with the Healthy Mind Lab through the Washington University Department of Psychiatry.

I completed my doctoral research on measuring functional cognition using the Observed Tasks of Daily Living- Revised [OTDL-R] assessment.
