Hello! I am currently a research coordinator/lab manager at the University of Miami! However, I also do work with local activsit orginations were I assist in community research and oganizational planning! I am a prospective graduate student hoping to complete a Ph.D. in Psychology!

I graduated with departmental honors from Florida Atlantic University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (with a minor in Sociology) by completing a senior thesis in Spring 2024. 

I am actively working on combining computational simulation methodologies with empirical human-subject data for my thesis. In which, I am working on developing a way to map an individuals self-evaluations.

This will lead into empirically validating a model of self-reflection processes utilizing cellular automata. In which human-subjects data will be used to inform the construction of the simulation as well as identify the accuracy of the outcome.

I am interested in how the self-processes are maintained and expressed within social interactions. Topics include how Action Identification levels can alter behavior, how self-verification alters perceptions of social interactions, and how self-reflection tendencies alter an individual's perceptions of themselves.

With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, I aim to delve deeper into the underlying factors that influence individuals' emotional responses when interacting with technology. This encompasses exploring what prompts trust when interacting with chatbots and why individuals may experience uneasiness when encountering AI-generated art.
