B.Sc. Psychology, UBC
Supervisor: Dr. Evan Risko
I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of British Columbia. Despite having enrolled in a neuroscience-based program, I became interested in social cognition research through my work with Dr. Alan Kingstone at the Brain and Attention Research Laboratory where I studied the role of eye contact in memory, as well as Dr. Jim Enns at the UBC Vision Lab where I examined how people position themselves relative to an image as a function of its focal depth.
My primary research interest is in how humans interact with their environments and whether the environment plays a role in our perception of the world and our decision making. One line of research I am currently conducting examines how and why humans organize their environments in task performance. In addition to these main research interests, I am also broadly interested in non-verbal behaviours as well as embodied/extended cognition.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
