I completed my B.A. in Psychology at UC Berkeley and directly after graduation entered the Ph.D. program here in the Social-Personality area. I work with Dr. Mendoza-Denton and together we are researching ways of utilizing technology to foster online cross-group friendships and reduce implicit biases. In my spare time I like to knit, crochet, and spend time with my pets. Research Interests: Implicit biases, prejudice, online interventions, intergroup relations, cross-group friendships.

I graduated with my BA in Psychology from UC Santa Cruz. I took some time off post-graduation and worked in the veterinary world and as a dog behaviorist. When I realized my calling was in research, I began working with James Gross at Stanford for a year before venturing to Cal as Sheri Johnson's lab manager. I worked with her for 4 years studying social dominance and impulsivity in psychopathology before I joined the S-P area in the Psychology department. Research Interests: Power and social feedback, how these interact and influence behavior and perceptions over time.
