Catrina is a PhD student in the University of Pennsylvania�s Neuroscience Graduate Group where she uses computational and experimental methods to study the neural mechanisms of visual memory. Before starting at Penn, she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California. While at USC she worked in a cognitive neuroscience lab where she studied mechanisms and models of face and object recognition. She also worked in a systems neuroscience lab where she studied the neural circuitry underlying song learning in juvenile zebra finches. Catrina has been involved in many science outreach initiatives including through teaching K-12 students and science writing. When she�s not in the lab, she enjoys reading, playing viola in the Penn Med Symphony Orchestra, and playing board games.
