Advisor: Dave DeSteno
I am a fourth-year graduate student working in Dr. David DeSteno’s Social Emotions Lab. My research broadly focuses on how emotions can promote prosocial and future-oriented behaviors at both the individual and group levels. Some of my current projects include investigating the role of gratitude in motivating sustainable behavior, in addition to exploring gratitude in an intergroup context.
