Research Interests:
I am interested in the complex relationship between cannabis use and neuropsychological functioning. Specifically, my research will explore the therapeutic use of cannabis in clinical populations with existing cognitive impairments, in the interest of guiding patients and doctors in their treatment decisions. Additionally, I am interested in the multifaceted role of executive functioning in the development and treatment of substance use disorders. I hope that my findings will inform public health policy and safety regulations within the Colorado cannabis industry.
