Hello! Nice to meet you.
I am a developmental and cognitive psychologist whose research explores the early foundations of moral and existential development. My work examines how children reason beyond explicitly available information to form judgments about norms, others, and themselves, and how these developing capacities may eventually support broader questions about meaning, values, and the self.
