Our relationships underscore every aspect of our lives, influencing the health and well-being of individuals, groups, and organizations. One of the fundamental challenges in interpersonal relationships is balancing self-interest with the interests and needs of another person.
I draw upon social, personality, and health psychology to investigate how people navigate the self-other tradeoff with the ultimate aim of of identifying effective ways to help people create relationships that are assets rather than impairments.
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at UCSF. I received my PhD in Social-Personality Psychology from UC Berkeley and my BA in Psychology with a minor in Political Science from UCLA.
