I recently graduated with a Masters’s in psychology from the University of Chicago, where I studied how labels and levels of neighborhood diversity affect children’s perceptions of moral and conventional actions. I conducted this research under the guidance of Amanda Woodward and Hyesung Grace Hwang. I am now a Ph.D. student at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. In 2018, I graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle in 2018 with a B.A. in Anthropology: Human Evolutionary Biology. As an undergraduate, I worked with Dr. Jessica Sommerville investigating how infants perceive issues of punishment and morality, and how these concepts translate across group boundaries. Broadly, I am interested in children’s theory of mind, development of morality, and children’s perceptions of different groups and social agents. During my Ph.D., I will further investigate children’s theory of mind and how children interact with human vs. robotic entities.
