Hi Leverett House! I’m excited to be part of the Leverett community. I am a PhD candidate in Developmental Psychology, and my research focuses on infants’ language development and the child-caregiver interactions that facilitate learning. I am originally from Raleigh, NC. And, I obtained my A.B. in Neuroscience and Mathematics here at Harvard. In my free time, I love to read, bake cookies, rock-climb, make collages, and bird-watch. I also enjoy exploring the beautiful campus and its surroundings! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, suggestions for fun outings, or just to chat. Don’t hesitate to drop by and say hello—I look forward to getting to know each of you!
