Research Team

I took a personality test for the first time as a junior in high school, and have been hooked on personality psychology ever since. I received my A.B. in Psychology from Harvard College and my Ph.D. in Social and Personality Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. Since arriving at Colby in 2009, I’ve enjoyed teaching courses about personality psychology, research methods, and statistics, working with motivated young researchers, and exploring Maine.

I am a senior from Lamoine, Maine (which is about 30 minutes from Acadia National Park), majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Neuroscience. I have also taken many courses in the Music and Theater Departments, which has helped me to establish connections between psychology and art, specifically the ways in which we respond to music and color. On campus, I work in the Biology Department office, and I am a part of the Colby Jazz Band, the Colby Megalomaniacs, and the Colby Music Incubator. In my free time, I like to draw portraits and spend time outside, especially in the spring and summer.
