About me

CV

I’m currently a Ph.D. candidate in social psychology at Northwestern University, where I work with Drs. Wendi Gardner and Daniel Molden.

Broadly speaking, my research focuses on well-being, and I explore it from two main angles. The first line examines the intrapersonal perspective, focusing on how individuals’ self-concept influences their decision-making processes and, subsequently, their well-being. The second line of research takes an interpersonal approach, exploring how individuals seek support and navigate conflict within their social networks.


Before joining Northwestern, I collaborated with Dr. Fan Yang at University of Chicago on research examining how individuals evaluate what constitutes a good life. I received my B.S. from UCSD.

In my free time, I enjoy thrifting, spending time with friends (and their dogs), taking photos for my friends (and their dogs), and exploring new restaurants in Chicago.
