I am a Cognitive Science and Psychology PhD student at Indiana University working with Mike Jones in the IU Cognitive Computing Lab. I am interested in the role of semantic memory in implicit bias. In particular, I use computational models to study how we might learn social biases from the statistical patterns of our environment. Recently, I have focused on LLM behavior, how it aligns with aspects of implicit social cognition, and implications for mitigating bias in AI and humans. Before IU, I graduated from Duke University with a B.S. in psychology and computer science. I also minored in Spanish.
I have never fit neatly into one disciplinary box, which is what led me to cognitive science. I love collaborating with people from all kinds of areas!
Outside of research, you can often find me dancing, cooking, or hiking.
