I am a current PhD student in the Basic and Applied Social Psychology at the City University of New York (CUNY). I recently received my MA in Social Psychology at York University, and previously completed my BA in Psychology at the University of Calgary. My MA thesis focused on emotion perception research to examine how perceived racial bias impacts perceptions of others’ trustworthiness.

 

My research interests include intergroup relations with a particular focus on achieving social justice for racial groups that are discriminated against. I am also interested in studying how racial stereotypes, prejudice, and societal structures continually serve as barriers to racial equity.
