My current research project is utilizing Granger Causality Analysis and DTI Analysis to examine the effects of Video Game playing on Functional Connectivity for Decision Making Tasks. By comparing Video Gamers to Non-Video Gamers on a basic decision-making task I am looking to see if Video Games are beneficial to completing these tests more accurate, more quickly or both and by what mechanisms they could potentially accomplish this.

I am primary interested in topics of chronic pain & neurological disorders. Specifically, my main interests are in migraine, TBI, and progression of pain disorders. My goal is apply new methods of imaging and analysis to these conditions to hopefully explain more fully how they work.

I am currently a graduate student at Georgia State University working in Dr. Mukesh Dhamala's Lab as well as a photo editor and videographer contracted out by Lola Land Photography for various special events.

Outside of research and photography work, I spend my time training in mixed martial arts, competing in jiu jitsu tournaments, hiking, reading, playing video games, making hot sauce, cooking, learning sign language and coding, and many other endeavors.
