I am a fourth-year Social Psychology Ph.D. student at the University of Kansas, working with Dr. Omri Gillath, in the Gillath Relationships Lab. I study singlehood experiences, focusing on their associations with attachment styles and well-being. I also investigate how partner perfectionism plays out across different cultural settings.
