Academic Interests

I am a social psychologist, who specializes in group-based biases involved in person perception (e.g., intergroup face processing, stereotyping, dehumanization, pro-social intentions). At SDSU, I teach courses in research methods and statistics in psychology, social psychology, the psychology of stereotyping and prejudice, health psychology and the psychology major. In addition to my role as a faculty advisor for Psi Chi and Psychology Club, I enjoy mentoring students' empirical research projects and career or graduate study explorations.
