Social and Personality Psychology

My undergraduate honors thesis was in social and personality psychology.

Transcriptomics, Genomics, and Neurological Disease

I began learning about bioinformatics through the Helios Scholars program, an eight-week program that led to the completion of a project. Afterwards, I continued research in Neurogenomics, looking at the transcriptome, sparsity of biofluids, and looking into neurological disorders.

Cultural and International Psychology

I used longitudinal data collected before and after the COVID-19 pandemic to examine the relationship between hope, the future self, and familism; realizing that I was interested in culture, I joined APA's Division 52 for International Psychology, and helped with research on the COVID-19 pandemic and how it was affecting certain populations and countries disproportionately.
