About Me
I had completed my PhD in Chelsea Helion’s Social and Affective Neuroscience lab where I used naturalistic paradigms to study how we dynamically resolve uncertainty in social situations, represent emotions, and regulate our emotions in high-stress situations. Working in the Delgado lab, I’m now exploring how we interpret complex social signals, our ability to dissociate social signals that often overlap, and what effect those play in decisions to collaborate with or defect from others. I often prioritize high ecological-validity in my study designs and am drawn towards computational methodologies and novel statistical techniques.
When I’m not working, I like hiking, playing tabletop RPGs (See my R functions in the DnDRuf Repo or my Combat Simulator App!), and making music.
I have proudly served many organizing roles within my union - TUGSA - including strike coordinator and union steward. I’m am currently a staff organizer dedicated to providing technical support to the Temple University Graduate Student Association and a member of Rutgers AAUP-AFT. As someone from a low SES background with no college in my family history, I am accutely aware of the effects that economics play in making education and a career in education accessible. Collective action is how we fix it.
