About Me

I am a PhD candidate in Social Psychology at the University of Virginia.

I am interested in how people’s cultural contexts influence their belief systems, with a particular focus on religious beliefs and intergroup attitudes. I have studied how cultural processes including globalization and intercultural contact shape these belief systems, and how ecological threats like economic inequality and conflict modulate these processes.

I use a multi-method approach to examine these questions among international samples, to investigate patterns of cultural change over time, and to address causality experimentally in lab settings.
