About Me

Hi! I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

My areas of research are impression management, trust, and communication. I received my PhD from the Behavioral Science program at Chicago Booth.

 

My interest in behavioral science stems from my experiences growing up as a shy and introverted kid. Often not knowing what to say to others, I instead became a careful observer of those around me. It wasn't long before I started to wonder more about why people behave the way they do, why they think what they think, and so on. A behavioral scientist was born!

 

Outside of doing research, I'm a huge fan of mindfulness meditation, watching dating-themed reality TV shows (e.g., The Bachelor, Married at First Sight), reading the news, comedy/improv, creative writing, and taking walks.
