I joined the Wesleyan University Psychology Department in 2007, where I teach and direct research in the Wesleyan Cognitive Development Laboratory (co-directed with Hilary Barth). Before that, I was a graduate student and post-doctoral fellow in the Laboratory for Developmental Studies at Harvard University, where I worked with Elizabeth Spelke and Susan Carey on language and conceptual development of space and number. I completed my undergraduate degree in Neuroscience at Brown University where I first became interested in brain mechanisms of language and learning, followed by a three-year stint as a science teacher at Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn.
