About Me

I’m an assistant professor of psychology at Seattle University. I received my PhD in Social & Personality Psychology at Washington University in St. Louis working with Drs. Simine Vazire and Josh Jackson.

I grew up in Southeast Texas and graduated from Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX. At Southwestern I worked in the Social Psychology Lab with Dr. Traci Giuliano and labmates Stacy Mathis and Whitney Laas.
Some of my favorite things are coffee, walks, teaching, Josh Ritter, and being a mom.
