I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University. I received my Ph.D. in Psychological Science from the University of California, Irvine in 2021, M.A. in Social Sciences from the University of Chicago in 2015, and B.S. in Psychology and Molecular/Cellular Biology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2014.

My research seeks to understand how socio-affective processes contribute to the risk for developing a number of psychopathologies, including internalizing disorders and psychosis-spectrum disorders, with an ultimate goal to develop theoretically based and biologically informed interventions. To this end, I employ a multimodal approach (e.g., electrophysiology, natural language processing) that is grounded in theories and practices of clinical and affective sciences.
