BIOGRAPHY
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Broadly speaking my research interests are in the domain of social and cultural psychology. More specifically, I am interested in intercultural contact (interaction between people of different cultural backgrounds) and the extent to which study abroad experiences contribute to the development of intercultural competence and interpersonal skills.
