Graduate Student
Psychology and Neuroscience

I earned my B.S. in psychology and cognitive studies from Tulane University in New Orleans in May, 2020. I worked as research assistant for three years at Tulane and discovered my interest in studying evolutionary perspectives on social psychology. As of fall 2020, I am now a member of the Evolution and Social Cognition lab at CU Boulder.

I am broadly interested in studying social cognition and behavior from an evolutionary perspective. Some of my specific research interests include morality, social emotions, punishment, and parenting strategies.
