I am an interdisciplinary social scientist, currently at Yale University where I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology.

My research sits at the intersection of decision making, behavioral economics, political ecology, and social policy. I work with cross-disciplinary teams to understand how people embedded in social-ecological systems reason about and respond to social, political, and environmental challenges.

I am especially interested in how behavioral science can facilitate accurate perceptions of interconnected issues and provide insights for building coalitions, power, and resilience to confront social shocks and systemic challenges.
