Hi!

I’m Esther. I received my bachelor’s degree from University of California, Santa Barbara, and I’m graduating with a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Rochester.

I started doing research in college because I wanted to see the behind-the-scenes of the fascinating findings. It has been fun ever since. I’m passionate about conducting quality research and bringing real impact to the world, so much that I want to do it for a career!

In my free time, I like to make polymer clay earrings, paddleboard, and find new dog parks to take my pup Jellyfish.
