Hello! I'm Celia, a second-year neuroscience Ph.D. student at U.C. Berkeley's Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute.  I work with the Wallis Lab, where I study how the brain subjectively internalizes our external world. 

I'm especially interested in value-based decision-making. How do we strike a balance between learning from trial and error, and learning from instruction and observation? Or making decisions based on a hunch, and carefully weighing pros and cons of all possible outcomes? My research diving into these questions is currently funded by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.


Before moving to the west coast, I graduated from Brown University with an Sc.B. in Cognitive Neuroscience, where I scienced at the Badre Lab and DJ'd at 95.5 WBRU FM.

Outside of lab, I love piano, pole fitness, and convincing cats to love me.
