Bio
I am a researcher interested in dog cognition, how it has been shaped by domestication, and how it changes with age. Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Margaret Gruen’s lab in the Department of Clinical Sciences. In the past, I was the lab manager for the Duke Canine Cognition Center, and I got my Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University, focusing on dog-human social relationships.
