About Me

I am an Experimental Psychology PhD student at UC San Diego funded by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program and UC San Diego's Jerri-Ann and Gary E. Jacobs Endowed Fellowship.

Broadly, I am interested in social cognitive development, or how young humans think about and navigate the social world. Specifically, I am interested in the developmental origins of reasoning about protection as well as social dyads, groups, and societies.

Before arriving at UC San Diego, I completed my BS in Psychology with Biological Emphasis at UC Davis, then worked as a research assistant at Yale University and as a lab manager at UC Santa Barbara.
