At UBC’s Culture and Self Lab, I analyzed cross-cultural data on mental wellbeing and studied cultural identity among adult Third Culture Kids, presenting findings at international conferences. I also wrote results and prepared tables and figures for a manuscript in preparation for Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

At the Cultivating Inclusion in Engineering Lab, I coordinated field data collection across seven locations and co-authored a paper on STEM outreach and youth engineering identity. I’m also contributing to a culturally responsive inclusive education scale, with work spanning validity study design, literature synthesis, and item redevelopment.
