Research Interests: Circuitry behind maternal behavior in mother rats in an effort to identify subregions of and evaluate recruitment of offspringresponsive populations of the medial preoptic area that project to the infralimbic cortex and the ventral tegmental area during maternal caregiving behavior.  

Research Interests: I am interested in deepening our understanding of decision making in the nudibranch sea slug Berghia stephanieae through the use of chemical cues and the animal's olfactory system and a new rapid behavioral assay  

Research Interests: Understanding the olfactory navigation of Berghia stephanieae when their olfactory organs are severed and allowed to regenerate.
