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 humans come to think about and navigate the social world. My graduate research focuses on how people reason about the care and protection we receive from others, from caregivers to collectives.

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.
