Lizzy is a Research Assistant in the Buckner Laboratory. She graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2026 with a B.A. in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology: Cognitive Neuroscience and minors in Biology: Neuroscience and Anthropology. In undergrad, she worked with the Laboratory for Child Brain Development on the Child Affect and Resilience to Experiences study and the Parent-to-Child Anxiety Transmission study, two multi-modal projects investigating emotional and cognitive development and resilience to stress in children during parental separation. She then joined the  Dynamic Cognition Laboratory, where she worked on the Event Completion Study, investigating tendencies to falsely remember event endings in both older and younger adults. She’s particularly interested in changes in memory structures and pathways that occur in both healthy aging and neurodegenerative diseases, and hopes to pursue graduate studies in Cognitive Neuroscience in the future.
