As a social psychologist, I investigate the cultural foundations of gender and racial inequity within organizations and society.

Using experimental methods and observational datasets, I conduct rigorous research aimed at understanding and addressing inequity in the real world. My goal is to not only illuminate the consequences of inequity, but to also demonstrate how inequity is systemically maintained by our cultural contexts.

I earned my B.F.A., cum laude, from the University of Florida in 2010, completed Columbia University’s post-baccalaureate certificate program in Psychology in 2013, and earned my Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Washington in 2021. Prior to joining Yale, I was a post-doctoral research scholar at Columbia Business School.
