Life and People

Healthy Aging Lab

I have the privilege of working with a dynamic group of emerging scholars in Cornell’s Healthy Aging Lab, representing diverse backgrounds from across the U.S. and around the world. We are driven by a shared curiosity about the socioemotional and cognitive factors that shape behavior and decision-making across the lifespan, especially in late adulthood.

Serve the Community

Alongside my research, I have served as a senior graduate student representative in the Graduate Student Committee of the Psychology Department from 2022 to 2024, for which I received the Exceptional Department Service Award in 2024.

Since 2023, I have been a founding member of the Diversity and International Students Committee (DISC) at Cornell in the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly.

I also served on the Cornelia Ye Teaching Assistant Award Selection Committee in 2024 and have been serving on the International Teaching Assistant Program Advisory Committee since then.

Beyond Cornell

In 2024, I was selected for the Building Future Faculty Program at North Carolina State University. During the two-and-a-half-day visit, I presented my dissertation work to faculty in the Department of Psychology at NC State, and attended sessions on faculty life at a research-intensive university, expectations for new faculty, and the available resources for research and teaching. I also had the opportunity to meet with scholars from other institutions and disciplines.

I have also attended the Computational Modeling Workshop held by SRNDNA at the University of Pennsylvania, where I engaged in immersive learning on the latest computational models in decision science.

For Fun!

During my leisure, I enjoy spending time with my cats, handcrafting, and hiking.
