<\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>About<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m currently a PhD student on the biological track. I earned my undergraduate degrees in Anthropology and Psychology at Penn State University in 2018, where I conducted research in both departments. Here at Boston University, I continue my research in Dr. Carolyn Hodges-Simeon\u2019s lab. Broadly, I am interested in how individual differences in attachment styles, environments, and health affect life history strategies and reproductive outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I am researching how environments and immune function influence individual variation in pathogen and sexual disgust levels, and how this can result in health-protective behaviors.<\/p>\n<h3>Awards & Grants<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cora du Bois Fellowship.
