I am an assistant professor of psychology at Whitman College. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa in Social Psychology. Born and raised in Hawai‘i, I became interested in how racial diversity impacts how we deal with race. As a multiracial individual who has lived in Hawai‘i, Oregon, Toronto, and now Walla Walla, I am interested in how our identity interacts with our context. I teach the following courses: Social Psychology, Research Methods, Social Cognition, Stereotyping/Prejudice, Diversity & Intergroup Relations.
