Hey there! 👋🏽 I’m a once-and-former college professor, faculty developer, and science communicator based in Los Angeles. I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology (with concentrations in Brain & Cognitive Science and Social Psychology), and I’m passionate about harnessing the power of social science in the service of positive social change.
My classroom teaching has been nationally recognized with four (!) awards from the Society for the Teaching of Psychology and the Society for the Psychological Study for Social Issues, and I regularly speak and write about how educators can–and why we should–teach as inclusively as possible.
In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing at the beach, hanging out with my two (flawless) rehabilitated street pups, trying to perfect my mom's Nicaraguan home-cooking, and unabashedly living up to my high school superlative: "Most Likely to Color-Code Her Plans to Grassroots Resistance.”
