Hello!  I'm Michelle.

​

​

Current position: Graduate Student (MA1) in the Department of Psychology, York University [2024 - now]

• Supervisors: Buddhika Bellana & Andrée-Ann Cyr

• Focus: curiosity, aging, naturalistic experimental design

​

Undergraduate training: BSc. Hons. Psychology, Western University [2024] ​

​

What I am curious about: Curiosity! I am interested in studying curiosity through naturalistic information-seeking behaviour, particularly within the context of healthy aging. I am also interested in exploring perceptions surrounding the relationship between aging and cognition.
