Appointments and Education

Oberlin College

I received a BA from Oberlin College, where I majored in Psychology and Environmental Studies. In this time, I conducted work alongside Dr. Cindy Frantz and Dr. Stephan Mayer. This work focused on an application of Protection Motivation Theory to pro-environmental intentions, and exploring methods to replicate a sense of awe and well-being typically derived from time in nature.

University of Pennsylvania

For two years, I served as a Research Coordinator in the Social Action Lab, Directed by Dr. Dolores Albarracín. My work spanned many projects, mostly focused on HIV and HCV testing, prevention, and treatment. I gained experience in Motivational Interviewing, data analysis, meta-analysis, and completed a Certificate in Data Analytics from the University of Pennsylvania’s LPS department.

Currently, I am a Ph.D. Student under Dr. David Sherman. My work is applied to both health and climate domains. Still focusing on new methods to increase pro-environmental behaviors and preventative health behaviors. In addition, I am a 2035 Initiative Research Fellow, and am looking forward to addressing climate policy through research and work on their outreach projects.
