I am a Psychology Ph.D. student at Princeton University primarily advised by Dr. Natalia Vélez in the CoLab. I am secondarily advised by Dr. Erik Nook in the Logic of Emotion Lab, where I previously worked as a Lab Manager. I am supported by the Centennial Fellowship in Natural Sciences and Engineering. 

I leverage the tools of affective, cognitive, and developmental science to examine how children's early collaborations are shaped by their abilities to understand and communicate about emotions. I also pursue projects that more broadly examine other aspects of children's affective and social development.

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.
