Welcome! 

C.V.

​I am a rising fourth-year doctoral student in the Department of Psychology at Columbia University; I primarily work with Dr. Larisa Heiphetz in the Social and Moral Cognition Lab. 

My research leverages methods from developmental, social, and cognitive psychology to understand how reasoning during childhood lays the foundation for how adults think about topics related to fairness, justice, and morality. 

I am currently thinking about the following questions (see 'Research' tab for more detailed information):

• To what extent do children and adults believe that others can undergo moral change?
• How do punishment-related concepts emerge, percolate, and change throughout development? To what extent does social input shape these concepts?
• What are the psychological roots of inequality?

​Before coming to Columbia, I received my B.S. in Human Development from Cornell University and my M.S. in Law from Northwestern University Law School. 

Thinking about going to SPSP in 2021?
