Graduate Student Position

I am now accepting applications for PhD students for the 2024-2025 academic year. Our lab is housed within the Psychology Department at UC Davis and is dedicated to studying how individuals navigate social structures and how these structures shape personality and identity. We are particularly interested in how young adults narrate experiences related to race, ethnicity, gender, social class, and nationality, as well as the psychological impact of these narratives over time.

Undergraduate Research Assistant Position

We are looking for driven, motivated students of all majors to be involved in our PINES research group projects. Contributing in a lab will provide you the hands on research experience, skills, and tools that you will need in graduate school and career opportunities.
