I’m a researcher at New York University’s Center for Mind, Ethics, and Policy. I’m a moral psychologist by training, and I’m interested in how people form social and moral inferences about nonhumans — both biological and artificial — and how these inferences inform consumer ethics, behavior, and policy preferences. I earned my PhD from Cornell University in 2026 and my MA in linguistics from Florida Atlantic University. Ongoing projects from my doctoral research explore: perceptions of consent in human–nonhuman relationships moral judgment of industries and industry practices cultural narratives upholding meat and dairy consumption (e.g., “happy dairy”) constraints on empathy for farmed animals A note about mentorship: I’m a first-generation student, and I attended an alternative education high school. I owe much to several incredible mentors who helped me navigate grad school applications and university life, and I’m eager to pay this forward. I’m particularly interested in working with: first-generation students with non-traditional educational backgrounds students with applied, community-oriented research interests I’d be pleased to chat about research ideas, grad school applications, or anything else of interest to you.
