I am currently a second year in the Social Psychology graduate program at KU. My current research focuses on perception of adult friendships. I aim to explore the physical, societal, cultural, and perceptual influences on the development and maintenance of adult friendships.

As an undergraduate, I realized my interest in social psychology, emotions, and relationships through my courses and working as an assistant in multiple research labs. Learning about romantic relationships led me to wonder about the significance of platonic adult relationships.
