 Hello there! I'm a PhD student at Harvard University (Education: Human Development, Learning, & Teaching). In 2022, I joined the Computational Cognitive Development Lab (CoCoDev), and am advised by Dr. Elizabeth Bonawitz. 

I'm wildly interested in intuitive theories, how these theories lend themselves to all sorts of abstractions like metaphor or pretend play, and efficiently/independently combine to generate novel thought, goals, and inspire people to become more creative. I was also formerly the research coordinator for and a graduate of the BRITElab at Duke University where I studied metaphors.

I also am a barre instructor at Pure Barre -- so if you want to talk about anything related to health and fitness, send a message anytime!

I've always loved browsing through others' cool resources and ideas, so I built this site to hopefully pass along something helpful to someone else.
