I am a psychology and social policy PhD student at Princeton University being supervised by Dr. Molly Crockett. My research leverages computational methods to explore the interactions between moral psychology and digital technologies. I have a background in philosophy and data science and am also an avid baker.

Current Projects

  • In this project, we ask whether moral outrage drives misinformation sharing online. Across Twitter, Facebook, and behavioral experiments, we test whether misinformation evokes more outrage than factually accurate news, whether outrage-evoking misinformation is shared more, and whether it is shared in an automatic or habitual way.

    In collaboration with Social Science One, William Brady, and Kate Klonick.

  • In this project, we explore the overlap between expressions of moral outrage elicited in response to perceived moral violations and expressions of hate speech online. We ask whether the use of moral outrage increases the virality of hateful comments online and worsens the impact on target populations.

    In collaboration with the Anti-Defamation League.

  • Using a novel pipeline, we are monitoring a large panel of Twitter users’ media consumption around the 2022 US midterm elections. Participants are sent direct messages when they interact with factually accurate news or misinformation and both state and trait cognitive and attitude measures are taken.
