I'm a Senior Applied Scientist on an incubation team at Microsoft and a social psychologist studying AI and human behavior. I believe that making technology powerful and making it responsible and responsive to the complexities of the real world and of our human-ness are goals that go together.

I completed my Ph.D. in Psychology at Stanford University, mentored by Jennifer Eberhardt, Hazel Markus, and Dan Jurafsky, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford SPARQ, a behavioral science "do-tank." Through SPARQ, I partnered with Nextdoor on research that helped reduce platform incivility. Previously, I earned my B.A. in Psychology with Honors from Rice University.

My research has been supported by the Russell Sage Foundation and featured in media such as The New York Times, The Economist, the Associated Press, NPR, TIME, and The Guardian.
