I am conducting an independent research project examining how rhesus macaques adapt working memory strategies to task demands. The study focuses on the distinction between prospective (planning for future action) and retrospective (remembering past events) memory codes.

• Developed a "many-to-one" and "match-to-sample" paradigm to isolate specific memory strategies.
• Personally trained rhesus macaques on touchscreen tasks and managed daily data collection.
• Utilized Python for data wrangling and R for statistical analysis of behavioral performance.

Investigated how break quality and length impact attentional restoration. We hypothesized that break quality (e.g., nature exposure vs. phone use) would moderate restoration effects.

Conducted environmental field research to optimize sustainable practices for the Oxford Organic Farm.

• Collaborated with faculty to design soil erosion measurement techniques.
• Analyzed erosion data to inform farm management practices.
