About Me

I am a doctoral candidate studying human behavior from an adaptationist perspective in the Evolutionary Psychology Lab at the University of Texas at Austin with David Buss. I joined the Buss Lab after finishing my MA Degree at California State University, Fullerton in Spring 2021. In my Master's thesis, I sought to understand individual differences in rape myth acceptance. I am currently interested in sexual conflict and women's psychological adaptations against sexual exploitation.
