I am a third year PhD student in the Psychology Department at UCSD. I am interested in how people's understanding of the nature of science (e.g., science as tentative, science as a debate) impacts learning science in the classroom and evaluating scientific information in everyday life. Most of my free time is spent rock climbing, but I also enjoy hiking, surfing, and techno.

I am a third year graduate student in the Psychology Department at UCSD. I am interested in investigating how people learn to reason scientifically and how that learning is mediated through various visual representations (i.e., graphs, diagrams). I aim to extend this research by examining how these findings can inform pedagogical interventions that promote quality learning in the classroom.

Hello, I’m a fourth year undergraduate psychology student! Some of my interests include the learning of skills and cognition, the efficacy of different learning mediums, and the intersection of education with UX/UI.

Hi there! I'm a senior studying psychology and philosophy. I have a broad interest in our intuitive understandings of the world (e.g. beliefs about knowledge or about self), how they vary/change, and how they influence our paths through life. Outside of the lab I love music and hiking.
