Summary

My research interests involve decision-making in the legal system, such as factors that may influence juror decision-making. Specifically, I am interested in how jurors’ biases toward extremist group members (such as White Nationalists) affect their decisions.

Research experience

My past research experience consists of being an undergraduate research assistant in a child maltreatment lab and a master's research assistant in a false memory and decision-making lab. I was also a research assistant on the “Hope for Family Resilience” team in which we created a comprehensive domestic violence training program for ÁùºÏ±¦µä.
