Hi, I’m Lucy! I’m a 3rd year Psychology PhD candidate at UC Davis, where I study concepts relating to children's fairness concerns, past-to-future reasoning, and emotions in decision making contexts. I earned my MA in Psychology from UC Davis in 2025 and my BA in Psychology from Boston University in 2020. At Boston University I studied children’s beliefs about inequality and justice, and, 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. 

 

As President of the Psychology Student Association at UC Davis, I thrive on bringing people together and creating a sense of belonging. During my time at UC Davis, I focus on mentoring students from diverse backgrounds and creating inclusive opportunities for students to learn more about research opportunities.
