Biography

I am a second-year doctoral student at ICD primarily working with Dr. Melissa Koenig and Dr. Benjamin Munson. I am broadly interested in studying how children's understanding of social categories and social group memberships inform their decisions on social and learning activities. I am currently working on a research project that investigates the speech measurement of children's gender typicality and children's testimonial learning preference towards speakers of different acoustic features.
