Hello!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in social psychology at the University of Washington. My research investigates how people respond to their cultural and physical environments in ways that reinforce racial and class-based inequities. You can learn more about my research here.

Prior to graduate school, I was a lab manager at Stanford SPARQ, a social science "do tank" that bridges research and practice to reduce social disparities in health, education, criminal justice, and economic mobility. I earned my B.A. in 2018 from Pomona College where I studied psychology and Asian American studies.

Outside of the lab I enjoy gardening, reading Asian American literature, and scouring Facebook Marketplace for a good deal. I also love talking about my research with K-12 classrooms through Skype A Scientist.
