I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Lynch School for Education and Human Development at Boston College.

My research examines the extent to which early skills and contexts shape later development, and the underlying causal mechanisms. I am particularly interested in when and how interventions that target children's skills generate short- and long-term effects.

In much of my current work, I use meta-analytic techniques to investigate: 1) whether boosts to earlier skills can change children's long-term developmental trajectories, 2) whether we can forecast when programs are likely to have long-term effects.

I completed my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University in 2025.

My work has been published in journals including Psychological Bulletin, Child Development, Scientific Reports, and Developmental Psychology.

I will be on the job market in fall 2026.
