Hi, I’m
Exploring the science of sleep,
the mind, and being human.
I’m a psychology graduate, researcher, and founder interested in how our minds and bodies shape everyday life.
After graduating from Kean University with Magna Cum Laude honours, I am pursuing postgraduate study at King’s College London. My work spans sleep, psychological wellbeing, and interdisciplinary approaches to human behaviour.
From analysing national sleep trends to exploring beliefs about insomnia, I’m drawn to theory-driven questions and methodologically rigorous research.
Bringing together research, clinical exposure,
and a little entrepreneurial energy.
Sleep, wellbeing, and the connections
that make us human.
