I study folk theories and their role in shaping people’s behaviors, relationships, and experiences. I am particularly interested in the ways in which conceptual representations do and do not vary across development, across cultural settings, and across individuals.

I am currently the postdoctoral project director for the Developing Belief Network. In Summer 2025, I will begin a new position as a preceptor of quantitative psychology in the Psychology Department at Harvard University.

ART

I like to doodle. In the past few years I have been exploring the tensions between precision and approximation, logic and intuition, planning and spontaneity. These pieces were drawn freehand using some combination of ink and colored pencil, with no rulers or digital manipulation.

If you’d like to use any of my art, please email me.
