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 a researcher in the Conceptual Development Lab at foundry10. From 2020-2025 I was the postdoctoral project director for the Developing Belief Network.
