I'm a postdoctoral associate in Marketing at the Yale School of Management, where I work with Deborah Small.

My research explores a fundamental tension in social life: how our desire to be viewed favorably often conflicts with other important goals. For instance, I examine how people balance conveying their status while avoiding appearing boastful (job market paper), and how image concerns create obstacles for donors pursuing effective charitable giving.

I also study how to improve behavioral science experiments. In collaboration with Uri Simonsohn and Ioannis Evangelidis, we have developed new tools for designing and analyzing stimulus sampling studies that help diagnose and reduce confounds, as well as improved methods for studying statistical interactions without assuming linearity.

I recently completed my PhD in Social Psychology at Cornell University, working with David Pizarro and Tom Gilovich. I also spent time as a visiting researcher at ESADE Business School in Barcelona. Before graduate school, I earned my B.S. in Psychology from Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia.
