a little about me:

I’m a first-generation college student from right outside Philadelphia, PA.  I earned my B.A. in Psychology at Widener University, M.A. in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from West Chester University, and PhD in Social and Personality Psychology working with Dr. Ken Sheldon at the University of Missouri.  My research broadly focuses of self-determination theory, goals & motivation, and arrogance.  In my free time, I love cooking and baking, engaging in artistic pursuits, watching films, and debating frivolous topics.  Living my best life and enabling others’ to do the same is my goal.
