My name is Hannah and I am currently a PhD student at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. I work with Dr. Joni Sasaki in the Religion and Culture Lab at UH. 

I am primarily interested in studying religion from a psychological lens. I am interested in how religion and culture impact our identity, thoughts, and behavior as well as how we interact with others in and out of our own religious groups. I am interested in comparing the beliefs and behaviors between religious groups as well as comparing the beliefs and behaviors of religious individuals to non-religious individuals. 

Some current projects I am exploring involve religiosity and COVID-19, lay perception of culture and religion, the similarities and differences of culture and religion, and anti-semitism.
