I am a Ph.D. student in social psychology at NYU, supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. I am a member of the Center for Conflict and Cooperation at NYU and the Climate Cognition Lab at Stanford.

My research program integrates social psychological theory with large-scale behavioral science methods to identify, test, and translate effective strategies for motivating collective action on climate change. I address a core challenge in social psychology: how to change beliefs and behaviors in politically polarized, emotionally charged, and globally diverse contexts.

I graduated in 2021 from the University of Miami where I studied Psychology and minored in Studio Art, Political Science, Philosophy, English Literature, and Management. During my senior year, I began working part-time as a Research Specialist with the Behavioral Science for Policy Lab at Princeton University, where I worked until 2023.

In my work as an artist, I primarily use portraiture to explore the human condition and my own experiences. Extending my artistic pursuits into filmmaking, my short film, waterlogged, blends my academic research with my passion for storytelling and visual arts.

In my free time, I enjoy painting, pickleball, rock climbing, Citibiking around NYC, and thru-hiking trails like the Camino de Santiago and Via Alpina.
