I am a doctoral candidate in social psychology at New York University, co-advised by Madalina Vlasceanu at Stanford University and Jay Van Bavel at NYU. My work is supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, an NYU Dean’s Dissertation Fellowship, and a National Institute of Social Sciences Dissertation Grant.

My research uses social psychological theory and large-scale behavioral science methods to understand how to motivate collective action on climate change. I study climate action across three levels: individual behavior, collective advocacy, and systemic policy support. Across these domains, I examine the psychological mechanisms that drive different forms of engagement and test which interventions most effectively motivate action in real-world collective dilemmas.

I have held visiting research positions at the University of Cambridge’s Social Decision-Making Lab and Collective Intelligence & Design Group, and was previously a research assistant in Princeton University’s Behavioral Science for Policy Lab. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Miami in 2021, where I studied psychology and minored in studio art, political science, philosophy, English literature, and management.

In my free time, I enjoy painting, stop-motion animation, rock climbing, Citibiking around NYC, and long-distance thru-hiking trails like the Camino de Santiago and Via Alpina.
