I am a postdoctoral researcher at Georgetown University, working with Abigail Marsh. Previously, I completed my PhD and postdoctoral training at the University of California, Berkeley, where I worked with Özlem Ayduk and Dacher Keltner, and was a visiting postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford.

​

My research takes an interdisciplinary approach to uncover how emotions shape our lives across the lifespan, examining their developmental roots, how they unfold in daily life, and how people can regulate them effortlessly.​ 

 

I ask three core questions:

 

1) What are the affective developmental roots of psychosocial well-being?​

​

2) How do daily experiences of positive emotions shape loneliness, health, and well-being?​

​

3) How do people regulate their own and others’ emotions effortlessly?
