My name is Van and I am from Oakland, California. I recently graduated from UC Davis with a B.A. in Psychology and a B.S. in Neurobiology. I am an incoming Master’s student, working at Dr. Lisa Oakes’ Infant Cognition Lab at the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain. I am broadly interested in memory. And I have been working on a project relating to children’s visual short-term memory. 

In my free time, I like to do arts & crafts, play with my cat, and take care of my houseplants. I am excited to start graduate school and meet you all! I hope you all enjoy the rest of the summer before school starts and stay healthy!
