She/Her
a lesbian and I am a doctoral psychologist.//
I study social minds and perception using interdisciplinary methods—including behavioral measures, machine learning, neuroimaging, eye-tracking, NLP, and advanced statistical modeling—to uncover how people think and feel, especially in emotionally and socially complex contexts. My work often centers on the perspectives of marginalized social groups. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know that not all families offer unconditional support, which can make the journey even more isolating. That’s why communities like this mean so much—they remind us we’re not alone. LGBTQ+ representation in STEM is still limited, and I hope that by being visible, I can help build a more inclusive and supportive space for those who come after me.
