I'm a graduate student in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington, primarily working with Dr. Ariel Starr. Previously, I was a full-time researcher at Stanford University's Causality in Cognition Lab, where I worked closely under the guidance of Dr. Tobias Gerstenberg.

​

As a First-Gen college student, I began my career as a teacher, but I am now pursuing my dream of becoming a psychologist by choice.​

​

My main interests lie within the realms of language and cognition. I am fascinated by the components that make up language, such as phonemes, morphemes, words, and sentences, and by how these elements collaborate to convey meaningful messages. Furthermore, I am also intrigued by the cognitive processes involved in language comprehension and production, particularly in how language is applied to communicate problems. Additionally, I am enthusiastic about investigating the influence of educators' language on the learning process using computational and experimental methods, as well as exploring the potential of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze and enhance classroom interactions.
