Howdy I'm here to learn new skills and teach others what I can!

ʙᴀᴄᴋɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅ

I am a lab manager + research specialist in the Princeton Social Neuroscience Lab working jointly in the Princeton Neuroscience Institute and the Department of Psychology with Dr. Diana I. Tamir at Princeton University.

Previously, I completed my B.S. in psychology and minor in philosophy at Duke University, where I worked as a research assistant in the the Mind at Large Lab and a postgraduate research fellow in the Imagination and Modal Cognition Lab and the Moral Attitudes and Decision-Making Lab under the supervision of Dr. Paul Seli, Dr. Felipe De Brigard, and Dr. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, respectively.

I am fascinated by open questions in moral psychology (norms, justice, judgments, and emotions) and am currently studying computational models of social cognition. I also maintain a keen interest in the psychological phenomenology and experimental philosophy of religion.

sᴋɪʟʟs ‍

I work almost exclusively in python (e.g., pandas, scikit-learn, and huggingface) and r (tidyverse) to clean and analyze behavioral data, but I've also used javascript (i.e., jquery, react) here and there. I'm currently looking to start using pytorch and d3.js more actively!

As a psychology and neuroscience researcher, my day-to-day work involves stimulus design, statistical analysis, data visualization, and manuscript preparation. I also conduct scans using fMRI!
