More About This Scholar

Major / Minor:

Cognitive neuroscience

Future Career Goals:

I hope to attend graduate school in clinical psychology. My primary academic interest lies in the intersection between the brain sciences and contemplative studies.

Top 3 Goals for your time abroad:

This fall semester, I will be living in a monastic community and abide by the Buddhist precepts as I learn about Buddhist meditation traditions from Eastern and Western educators. I am most looking forward to the combination of rigorous academic study and first-person meditative practice, a pursuit for both academic knowledge and personal well being. I hope that by studying abroad in Bodh Gaya, India, I will gain more insight about the Buddhist history and philosophy that underlies the practice.
