I am a fourth-year student in the developmental psychology PhD program at UCSD, where I research infant-caregiver interaction from a global perspective. I am interested in how culturally-mediated parenting practices shape early development, with a specific interest in the tactile communication that occurs during breastfeeding and babywearing. I have done fieldwork in Vanuatu, Bolivia, and Guatemala…cross-cultural research being the most recent chapter in my long love affair with international travel. I am interested in using research to design and improve effective maternal-infant health programs in vulnerable communities around the world.
