My research focuses on human memory organization and memory processes. I am interested in the information that false memories can give us about the organization of knowledge in memory. I also study both semantic and person memory models and the role that memory plays in impression formation.

For my PhD, I study false memories within the implicit theory of personality and under impression formation processing goals. I am also interested in the role of serial position at the time of encoding and retrieval.
