About Me

I am a social psychology PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin–Madison working in the Brauer Group Lab and a graduate fellow at the Institute of Diversity Science. I study group behavior and persuasive messaging in the contexts of climate change and diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am particularly interested in how social norms are communicated via social norms messages and how these messages affect behavior. In a secondary line of research, I examine psychological methodology and data collection procedures.

I am currently on the academic job market. I am particularly interested in teaching and conducting research at a small liberal arts college (SLAC).
