I am a PhD candidate in the University of Chicago psychology department

My research focuses on developmental social cognition, with two main foci:

  1. The development of socioeconomic reasoning in childhood, including children’s thinking about economic inequality and mobility

  2. Children’s first-person behavior and third-person beliefs surrounding peer-based social relationships (e.g., friendships)
