Noelle graduated from Hofstra University in 2021 with a B.S. in Neuroscience and minors in Chemistry and Psychology. At Hofstra, she completed an Honors Thesis on sex differences in the neural basis of social and non-social reward in adults with autism spectrum disorder. She then worked as a Clinical Research Coordinator and TMS Technician at Zucker Hillside Hospital, where she contributed to projects investigating psychiatric disorders and neuromodulation interventions. Her research interests center on the neural mechanisms underlying social reward and social motivation, and how variations in these processes relate to clinical presentations, functioning, and outcomes across psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. She is particularly interested in using neuroimaging to characterize these mechanisms and ultimately inform personalized interventions. In her free time, Noelle enjoys going to the gym, listening to music, and spending time outdoors with her dog, Gemma.
