Whittier College; University of Michigan
More
I am a doctoral candidate in the Social Psychology program at the University of Michigan. I will be beginning a Visiting Assistant Professor position at Whittier College in Fall 2016. I am primarily working on projects relating to academic motivation, emotions, and stereotype threat. I received my Master's Degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan in August 2013 and graduated from California State University, Fullerton with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in May 2011.
Through my work I hope to give populations of people who are typically negatively stereotyped in academic realms, such as STEM fields, tools that can help them effectively deal with the negative thoughts and emotions they encounter on their academic paths.
