I am currently a Senior Research at the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). Previously, I held a MindCORE Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, primarily working with Drs. Adrianna Jenkins and Rebecca Waller. I completed my PhD in Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with Drs. Seth Pollak and Kristin Shutts.
At the University of Pennsylvania, I co-founded Mind DivE In (Diversity and Equity Initiative in the Mind Sciences). The initiative brings pre-grad students to Penn for a weekend of mentoring, networking, and professional development workshops on topics related to graduate school. We aim to fill mentorship gaps that are more likely to be faced by students from underrepresented groups with a broader objective of improving diversity in fields that are related to the study of the mind. Applications are typically posted in late spring. Resources, including recorded workshops from the event, are available on our website: https://web.sas.upenn.edu/dive/
