About Me
I am a fifth year doctoral student in social psychology at the University of Michigan. I am a graduate student research assistant in the Emotion and Self-Control Laboratory working primarily with Ethan Kross where I am currently pursuing two related lines of research. One involves understanding how placebo mechanisms can be applied in self-control and emotion regulation contexts. A second line of research involves examining the factors that promote and impede the development of habitual regulatory processes.
Prior to attending University of Michigan, I obtained my degree in psychology at San Francisco State University in 2013 where I conducted research in Dr. Ryan T. Howell’s Personality and Well-Being (PWB) Laboratory. In the PWB lab, I studied the relationship between money and well-being. More specifically, I examined the different ways people utilize their “disposable income” and its effect on their personal well-being and social relationships. Additionally, I worked in Dr. Mark W. Geisler’s Cognitive Psychophysiology Laboratory and Dr. Wendy Berry Mendes’ Emotion, Health, and Psychophysiology Laboratory.
