After receiving her Ph.D from New York University in 2016, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University jointly in the Psychology Department and the School for Public Policy and International Affairs.

Areas of Expertise:
Our moral values provide a lens through which we see the world. My research is dedicated to understanding how our moral values affects how we see, think, act, and enact public policy. My focus on moral psychology has allowed me to explore ideas in a wide range of topics, from attention and visual perception, to sexual harassment and assault, to judgments of harm-reduction policy, and labor organizing.
