ABOUT ME

I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Psychology Department at New York University University in the NYU Motivation Lab, supported by the Social Sciences and Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Before joining NYU, I earned my PhD in Psychology at McGill University.

​

RESEARCH

​

I study the role of motivation in goal striving. My research highlights the importance of understanding how people optimally manage their goals in response to changing opportunities and constraints – core to this is both choosing to engage, and sometimes disengage, for the right reasons.

 

Some of the topics I am interested in:

​

1. how individuals optimally "choose" goals that align with their personal values and contribute to well-being.

​

2. how individuals effectively "lose" goals that are unattainable and no longer serving them.

​

3. what happens when "goals go wrong" and individuals are confronted with the dilemma of whether to persist or disengage.
