Elizabeth graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a BA in Cognitive Science and Psychology in 2018. At Hopkins she studied spatial processing and visual perception in the labs of Dr. Michael McCloskey and Dr. Soojin Park. For four years following her undergraduate, she worked at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the Neuroimaging Core studying CSF, blood and imaging biomarkers of mild cognitive impairment. She also worked on a clinical trial for Alzheimer’s therapeutics, furthering her interest in translational research in cognitive science. She completed an MS in Biotechnology at Hopkins prior to starting the MD-PhD program at Georgetown in 2023. She is now in Dr. Peter Turkeltaub’s Cognitive Recovery Lab where she is studying stroke recovery using neuroimaging. When she’s not in lab, she enjoys playing tennis, baking and visiting museums.
