Conduct and collaborate on research projects related to existential psychology, psychedelic sciences, breathwork, and leadership.

Taught the following undergraduate classes:Social Psychology, Personality Psychology, Psychology of Death & LossPhD Candidate in Social PsychologyAs an undergrad enrolled in a senior seminar in Experimental Existential Psychology, I learned about Terror Management Theory which details the role of death in life. Outside of class, I learned that people often report less fear of death after psychedelic experiences. My curiosity piqued and this intersection is now at the heart of my research. Through empirical observation, I aim to answer questions like "How do psychedelics reduce death anxiety?" -- “Could a reduction in death anxiety be driving the therapeutic effects we see in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy?” -- "Can transcendent forms of breathwork elicit therapeutic benefits similar to psychedelics?"PhD Advisor: Jeff Greenberg, PhD, Regents Professor
