I investigate cultural influences on intergroup relations within organizations and society.

Using experimental methods and observational datasets, I conduct rigorous research aimed at understanding and addressing real-world social phenomena. My goal is to not only illuminate the power of culture in shaping our own motivations and beliefs, but to also demonstrate how group dynamics in organizations and society are influenced by our broader 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.
