I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of South Carolina Aiken. Prior to joining USC Aiken, I was a graduate student at Indiana University Bloomington where I worked with Dr. Amanda Diekman in the Social Roles Lab. My research interests center broadly around motivation and goal pursuit, stereotyping and prejudice, and diversity science. I have a particular interest in utilizing social psychological research to address disparities in STEM education and the workforce.
Outside of teaching and research, I am a horror movie fan, dachshund lover, and professional Stardew Valley farmer.
