I'm a cognitive scientist interested in how children learn language and concepts.

I am currently a Clinical Assistant Professor at New York University in the Department of Psychology. I completed my Ph.D. at New York University, working with Dr. Marjorie Rhodes. Prior to NYU, I received my B.A. in Psychology and Linguistics (with a minor in Polish Language and Literature) from University of California, Berkeley, where I worked with Dr. Terry Regier and Dr. Kevin Holmes. I then worked as Predoctoral Research Associate at Lehigh University with Dr. Amanda Brandone.

Primarily, I develop tools and resources to make programming and quantitative skills more accessible to psychology students. This includes developing materials that encourage students to adopt an open science approach in their research.

In my research, I examine how language influences the ways in which we think and learn about the world. In particular, I am interested in how children's early pragmatic development influences early conceptual development, and how parents may inadvertently communicate social stereotypes to young children through the kinds of inferences that children make about their language choices.
