Lab Manager (Spring '24)
I am a senior from Virginia majoring in psychology and minoring in biology. I am interested in the rapidly evolving dynamic between humans and technology, and how the underlying cognitive processes in this relationship are affected. Outside of the lab I enjoy hiking and creative writing.

Currently: Post Doc at UChicago Booth
Ph.D. Student, ILE School, Cornell University (Spring '21 - '24)
My research utilizes theory and methods from social psychology and judgment and decision making to understand human perception, judgment, and behavior. Currently, I am conducting research on the application of new technologies and algorithms in the workplace, morality, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. I received my BA in psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and graduated summa cum laude with highest honors in the major.
