My research interests are broad, but the role of social information in children’s lives is the connecting thread. I currently focus on how social information influences the way children cooperate and engage in strategic decision-making. I am also interested in how aggressive behavior impacts children’s strategies, for example when they play economic games. In previous years I have worked on projects related to the development of social attention and language skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have an EdM from the Harvard Graduate School of education. In my spare time I indulge my fascination with the human brain and strive to retain all the jargon I painfully learned in Neuroanatomy classes.
