I am a Ph.D. Student (G2) in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University. 

I am primarily advised by Prof. Natalia Vélez in the CoLab and secondarily advised by Prof. Erik Nook in the Logic of Emotion Lab, where I previously worked as a Lab Manager. 

Broadly, I am interested in how children navigate the affective and interpersonal challenges of everyday life. My primary research examines the cognitive mechanisms that enable children to sustain and repair collaborations. My secondary line of work investigates how affective abilities and beliefs evolve from early childhood to young adulthood. 

I received my A.B. from Wellesley College, where I double majored in Psychology and Sociology. As an undergraduate, I had the pleasure of working as a preschool teacher at the Child Study Center and researching children's imaginary companions in the Imaginary Lab, led by Dr. Tracy Gleason.
