Sarah received her B.S. in Neuroscience and Biomathematics from the University of Scranton in 2019 and her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Pennsylvania State University in 2024. In her dissertation, she created a model of working memory for a sequence learning task constrained by fMRI data.

Sarah is interested in understanding the neural activity underlying learning and memory processes. Specifically, she is curious about the processes underlying implicit learning, like that which occurs in gesture. Sarah is a postdoctoral scholar in the ENL and Goldin-Meadow labs, and works on a project using fNIRS to study brain activity in children when learning a math lesson using gesture or action.
