I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. I joined the faculty in Spring 2015 after receiving my Ph.D. in Psychology and Social Behavior and Quantitative Methods from the University of California-Irvine. My research examines how motivation and opportunity direct and reflect individuals’ development across the life span. I am particularly interested in the dynamic relationships between individuals’ broader beliefs about society, their beliefs about themselves, and their motivational commitment to central life goals.
