I am currently a third year graduate student studying under Dr. Andrew Karpinski within the Temple University Cognition and Implicit Attitudes Lab. My research has two distinct focuses: temporal construal, and the extent of unconscious processing.

I am currently investigating the asymmetry in how people construe the past and future. Specifically, I examine when and why people construe the past as being more distant and more abstract than they do the future. This has involved the use of Implicit Association Tests, the Breadth-Based Adjective Rating Task, and direct explicit measures.

In my second line of work, I use Continuous Flash Suppression to implicitly prime multi-step arithmetic as a demonstration of higher-order processing to answer questions about what conditions are necessary for high-order unconscious processing to occur.
