I study how humans cooperate, belong, and adapt across cultural and ecological contexts. I earned my degree from the University of Richmond, where I worked across psychology and anthropology. My research has included work on cultural differences in empathy and trust, fieldwork in the Himalayas on mobility, statelessness, and environmental change, and analysis of social networks in small-scale communities.

I now work as a post-baccalaureate research assistant studying belonging in higher education. My current work involves analyzing focus group data, developing and implementing a classroom-based intervention, managing data collection and survey programming, and mentoring undergraduate students in qualitative methods and data management. Alongside this, I continue work on cross-cultural research projects and am learning to integrate large-scale data analysis and computational approaches into social science research.
