I am a Research Scientist at BetterUp. Right now I'm working with a team of social psychologists, technologists, and other researchers, where we do a mix of basic behavioral science and cutting-edge innovation.
I graduated from the University of California: San Diego, where I studied Cognitive Science and Mathematics and researched metaphor's impact on behavior under Ben Bergen and Sean Trott. My passions lie in undersanding and influencing human behavior, and I strive to contribute to the development of human-centered, data-driven technologies that positively impact people.
These days I'm living in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood. Outside of my analytical work, I focus on creative and meditative hobbies: wandering around neighborhoods looking for interesting restaurants, bookshops, etc.; reading; painting murals or sketching; or printing photos in the darkroom. For an explanation of my blog's title, see here.
