Biography

I am a first-year doctoral student at ICD working with Dr. Melissa Koenig and Dr. Charisse Pickron. I am broadly interested in children’s intergroup social cognition, specifically how children perceive social groups, how group membership may relate to identity, and how stereotypes form around these groups. Later, I hope to also look at cross-cultural differences in how children perceive group membership.
