I am currently a postdoctoral research associate at the NEST Lab at University of Southern California. In Summer 2025 I will be joining the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Research Assistant Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience with Winston Center for Technology and the Developing Mind.

My research is focused on how we can use neuroscience to better understand the complex, mixed, and sentimental feelings induced by life transitions and media.


These inherently hard to to describe experiences are important to many real-world issues, and my work aims to understand the developmental processes that facilitate these feelings, as well as their relevance for mental health.
