I am a full-time research assistant in the Laboratory on Social & Affective Neuroscience. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology, Neurobiology, and Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master's degree in Psychology from Brandeis University. During my master's program, I completed a thesis on existential beliefs and well-being, and I contributed to a project on how emotion affects moral judgment. My current research focuses on prosocial traits, motivations, and behaviors, and I plan to pursue a Ph.D. to further explore these exciting topics.
