My research over the past two years has focused on understanding the role of anger and sadness in learning, specifically in relation to required effort and reward. I hope that by gaining a better understanding of how anger and sadness affect and are affected by learning, this research will provide insights into the contributions of aberrant learning to clinical symptoms of emotional disruptions.

In terms of my academic background, I have an interdisciplinary profile, having completed my BA in Business with a major in finance, and my MSc in Ecology and Environmental Studies, where I researched bat navigation.

During my free time, I enjoy traveling and climbing mountains, although currently, I am occupied with the joyful chaos of running after my three toddlers: Ayala, Peleg, and Maayan.
