I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Consumer Behavior at UVA's Darden School of Business. I completed my PhD in Social Psychology at Ohio State in 2023, where I trained with Dr. Richard Petty in the Attitudes and Persuasion Lab and wrote a dissertation titled "Attitudinal Ambivalence and Behavioral Extremism." My research sits at the intersection of attitudes & persuasion (especially attitude strength), political psychology, and consumer behavior. I am particularly interested in the roles of morality, politics, and extremism in shaping social life and culture, consumer psychology, and the marketplace.
