I am a fourth year doctoral student in the social-personality psychology program, working under the guidance of Dr. Stephanie Spielmann in the Relationships and Individual Differences Lab. My research focuses on self-regulation and the motivational processes for maladaptive behaviors in interpersonal relationships. Additionally, I am interested in the phenomenological experiences that arise from these behaviors.
