I am broadly interested in studying how social partners support the development of children's attentional control and language. My work implements multilevel modeling techniques to investigate the moment-to-moment dynamics of shared joint visual engagement, as well as the quality of the language input, influencing infant learning and sustained attention at multiple timescales. I examine corpora of infant-caregiver naturalistic interactions in both lab and home environments.
​
I obtained a Ph.D (2019) in Psychology (advisors: Linda Smith and Chen Yu) and a MSc in Applied Statistics (2018) from Indiana University. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (New York University London, advisor: Catherine Tamis-LeMonda) and Associate Lecturer- Teaching (University College London) at the Centre for Applied Statistics Courses (UCL's CASC).
