Hi there! I am a social psychologist working to apply behavioral science to policies related to economic opportunity. I am a Portfolio Director and Assistant Research Professor at Georgetown University's Better Government Lab, where I conduct research to improve access and equity in government programs.

​

I previously worked at the Office of Evaluation Sciences in the federal government, leading high-impact evaluations on topics including public benefits delivery, community safety, government modernization, and small business development. I earned my Ph.D. in social psychology in 2023 from Cornell University, where I studied how people think about economic inequality, how inequality (and resource scarcity) affects people's lives, and how we can use behavioral science-based interventions to promote economic well-being.

​

Outside of research, I love organizing events and spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. I previously taught with Cornell's Prison Education Program in efforts to expand higher education opportunities to people who are incarcerated.
