About my research

How do we process and make sense of morally challenging experiences? I am a graduate student at Cal State San Bernardino and an intern with the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University, and I am interested in understanding how individuals respond (e.g., by morally disengaging) and repair (i.e., via processes such as awe, forgiveness, gratitude, or moral elevation) following experiences that threaten our moral beliefs.
