I am a behavioral scientist and a fourth-year PhD student in Psychology at the Center for Adaptive Rationality (ARC) at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin.

My research primarily focuses on decision making in digital environments, currently pertaining to misinformation and microtargeting.

Prior to joining ARC, I earned a Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences from the University of Pennsylvania. I also completed an MSc in Marketing with distinction (Trinity College Dublin) and a BA in Business Administration (Provadis School of International Management and Technology).

My research has appeared in journals such as Journal of Experimental Psychology: General and Current Opinion in Psychology.

I am on the 2023–2024 job market for assistant faculty and postdoc positions.
