I am a doctoral candidate in Social Psychology at the University of Denver.  I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Connecticut College with a certificate in Public Policy and Community Action.  I currently work with Max Weisbuch as Director of the Social Perception and Attitudes Lab and will be starting as an Assistant Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in the Fall. 

In my research, I examine how subtle patterns we encounter every day can reinforce and even challenge social inequities.  I aim to address power differentials among social groups in ways that contribute to scientific knowledge and have clear, broad social benefits. 

I also conduct workshops with local community organizations about overcoming stereotypes that influence student performance.  If you are interested in learning more, please see my Outreach page.
