About
Biography
I completed my BA in Psychology at Columbia University and MSc in Cognitive and Decision Sciences at University College London. In 2023, I completed a D.Phil in Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, investigating the consequences of social sharing of emotions associated with COVID-19 and the impact of bivalent emotions (i.e., feeling positive and negative emotions at the same time) on social behaviour. Currently, I am teaching at the University of Surrey as a Lecturer in Psychology (Teaching Track).

My research centres around the role of human emotions in predicting social behaviour. I am currently interested in pursuing research in the relatively unexplored area of bivalent emotions—particularly, how these emotions might influence intergroup judgment.
