About
Megan earned her B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavior from the University of Notre Dame in May 2025. Megan previously conducted research on working memory and Alzheimer’s disease. She plans to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience with the goal of contributing to the field of neuropsychology and developing unconventional treatments for mental health disorders, particularly for individuals who don't respond to traditional interventions.
In the lab, Megan assists with the CNS study (led by Dr. Eric Woodcock), which examines how cannabinoids affect PTSD in veterans utilizing fMRI and PET.
Outside the Lab
Outside the lab, Megan enjoys running, dancing, traveling, binge-watching sitcoms, and hanging out with her cat, Margo.
