Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m a 5th year Psychology PhD candidate at UC Davis, where I used mixed-method research designs to study children's socio-emotional development alongside their understanding of responsibility and control. I also research the development of children's fairness concerns and reasoning about inequality. I earned my MA in Psychology from UC Davis in 2025 and my BA in Psychology from Boston University in 2020. After graduating, I worked as a lab manager at UC Irvine, investigating cross-cultural normative perceptions of fairness.

 

While I am originally from the Bay Area, I have lived in cities like Seattle, Portland, Boston, and San Diego. Now located in Davis, I appreciate the connection and community found in a smaller, close-knit city. In my spare time, I enjoy skiing, surfing, camping, and quality time with friends and family. 

 

In life, I enjoy bringing people together and creating community. As a teaching assistant, I value creating inclusive opportunities for students to learn. As a graduate researcher, I love working with students to help them discover their own research passions.
