Hello

I am currently an Assistant Research Professor at the University of Connecticut in the Department of Psychological Sciences and the Institute for the Brain and Cognitive Sciences. I received my PhD in 2023 in the dual title program in Psychology and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Penn State University.

​

My research draws upon my interdisciplinary background in feminist theory, traditional social psychology, and vision science to better understand how marginalized group members perceive and experience their social worlds, and connects these perceptions and experiences to intergroup health inequalities. My work engages metascientific discourses – including feminist philosophies of science and the open science movement – with the goal of improving the capacity of academic research to meaningfully represent the experiences of marginalized group members. This research has been supported by bodies including the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Women and Gender Equality Canada, The Government of Alberta, the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, and the Relationship Researchers Interest Group.
