Hey! I'm a 1st-year psychology Ph.D. student at Cornell supervised by Professor Laura Niemi in the Applied Moral Psychology Lab. Previously, I was employed as a project manager in the 🦅 Morality Lab (Professor Liane Young) and Social Influence and Social Change Lab (Professor Gregg R. Sparkman) in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Boston College. I work concurrently as a research coordinator for the MiT Applied Cooperation Initiative (Professor David Rand & Dr. Erez Yoeli).

Previously, I was a lab manager and research specialist in the 🐅 Princeton Social Neuroscience Lab (Professor Diana I. Tamir) working across the Princeton Neuroscience Institute and Department of Psychology at Princeton University.

I received my B.S. in psychology and minor in philosophy from Duke University in 2020, graduating early during the pandemic. I primarily worked as a research assistant in the 🧢 Mind at Large Lab (Professor Paul Seli) and as a postgraduate research fellow in the Imagination and Modal Cognition Lab (Professor Felipe De Brigard) as well as the Moral Attitudes and Decision-Making Lab (Professor Walter Sinnott-Armstrong).

My research interests are diverse, but I'd currently describe it along two general axes: (1) open questions in moral psychology (particularly concerning the influence of social norms and moral emotions on our everyday judgment and decision-making); and (2) applying computational methods from machine learning and natural language processing to understand empathy and social connection. I also maintain a keen interest in the experimental philosophy of religion, especially as it interfaces with individuals' (meta)ethical beliefs. I have experience in data science, and I have freelanced as a UI/UX and graphic design artist for a startup.
