Welcome!
I am an incoming Visiting Assistant Professor of Psychology at Ohio Wesleyan University, beginning Fall 2025.
I completed my PhD in Social and Personality Psychology at UT Austin and my Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Psychology at Johns Hopkins University. Broadly, I am interested in emotion in social interactions, with an emphasis on how language choices and individual differences may influence the degree to which emotions help or harm our relationships and well-being. I am also passionate about teaching and mentorship and have taught classes in research methods, introductory psychology, personality psychology, and a graduate course on best practices in college teaching.
When I'm not in the lab or the classroom, you can find me cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers, trying a new recipe in the kitchen, or seeing my favorite bands perform live.
