Research Summary:
I am interested in how people respond to challenge, uncertainty, and failure, particularly in an academic setting. After receiving my bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University in Psychology and Biology, I developed educational interventions at PERTS with Drs. Dave Paunesku and Carissa Romero, and managed an emotion regulation intervention under the direction of Dr. James Gross. I currently work with Drs. Greg Walton, Carol Dweck, Alia Crum, and Geoff Cohen. I am passionate about promoting ethical research practices and responsible applications of psychological insights.
