Short Bio: I am an incoming Assistant Professor at UCSD, and I currently work with Michael C. Frank and the Language and Cognition Lab at Stanford University, where I'm a postdoctoral fellow supported by an NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award.  I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University, where I worked with George Alvarez, Talia Konkle, and Susan Carey in both the Harvard Vision Lab and the Laboratory for Developmental Studies. I earned my M.S. from the Cogmaster program at École Normale Supérieure in Paris working with Sid Kouider and Emmanuel Dupoux at LSCP, funded by a Fulbright Advanced Student award. As an undergraduate, I worked with Caitlin Fausey and Lera Boroditsky for my Honors Thesis in Human Biology at Stanford University.

I am the first academic in my family, and I am a mom of two young kids. I am committed to making science more open (transparent, reproducible, and inclusive) and in using my privilege to increase opportunities in science for people from marginalized backgrounds.
