My primary research interest is in the study of working memory and attention. My current work will begin to understand where focus of attention is directed within the encoding consolidation and maintenance phases of working memory, and how introducing distractions may play a role in memory recall.

My primary research interest is consciousness. Drawing on influences from philosophy and phenomenology, my research focuses on the link between the physical brain and our conscious or subjective experience. This has involved studying metacognition (i.e., how we think about our own thinking), which can help uncover the aspects of our own cognition that we are or are not aware of.

I am interested in studying how infants and young children learn language and develop cognitively and socially within their first few years of life. Considering how impactful children's parents are during this period of their lives, I am also interested in how children's play interactions with their parents facilitate their learning in these areas. I am especially interested in how these early parent-infant interactions help infants to build their broader skills in these areas for future interactions with novel individuals.

My primary research interests are in identity and group dynamics. I am especially interested in identity salience, particularly how people negotiate multiple identities within different social contexts, and how these identity dynamics influence intergroup relations. I am also intrigued by the connections between identity and music. Through my research, I aim to leverage principles from social psychological research, as well as perspectives from other social science disciplines, to develop applied interventions that promote equity, specifically in relation to gender and sexuality.

Focusing on organizational psychology, team dynamics, diversity & inclusion, and computational social science.
I am studying how diversity in social identities influences team dynamics, collaboration, and decision-making. My research focuses on generational and gender-based biases and their impact on inclusion and performance in diverse teams, and I also work with computational social science methods. More broadly, I aim to develop evidence-based strategies that help organizations make better use of diversity and support more effective collaboration.
Before graduate school, I worked as a Learning and Development specialist and contributed to DEI initiatives in a multinational energy company, experiences that shaped my interest in connecting research with practice. Outside of my academic work, I enjoy playing tennis and exploring new cultures and cities.

I study the often unintentional consequences of our social cognition and how we can change them for the better. Specifically, I examine the relationship between our identities, motivations, and social information processing. My work ranges topics such as stereotyping, attributional errors, and how we process misinformation. It is designed to inform or directly test interventions aimed at reducing biases and improving health outcomes.

Her research interests center on the adultification of African American girls and the ways in which they navigate societal expectations, whether by conforming to or resisting them. She is also interested in how minority groups can strengthen voice and representation to reduce marginalization. Her current project is looking to see if racially-marked and immigrant-coded radical feminist movements are perceived as more radical than other radical factions or mainstream groups. And if the effect is stronger for intersectional outgroups than ingroup counterparts.

My primary research interest is understanding how parent socialization influences the moral, emotional, racial, and political development of children and adolescents. Alongside Dr. Debbie Laible, our recent studies have investigated how parents influence the development of racial prejudice and extremist political beliefs in White American adolescents. I am especially interested in the role of emotion socialization and parenting behavior in the intergenerational transmission of ideology during pre-adolescence through young adulthood.

My primary research interest is in adolescents' social and emotional development and adjustment, particularly within their friendships. My current ongoing project focuses on coping behaviors, support behaviors, and adolescents' subjective experiences in the context of their friendships. Additionally, I am working with my advisor, Dr. Sarah Borowski, to develop a new research tool to study the effects of social media on adolescents' well-being.
