I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Psychology of Peace and Violence Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. 

In my primary line of research, I examine how shared competitive (and cooperative) histories influence the way people think about and pursue their goals.​ In another line of work, I examine how people can use their thoughts and attentional focus to change the intensity of emotional events.​
