I am a graduate student in the Cognitive Psychology Ph.D. program at Georgia State University with Dr. Sarah Brosnan. I am currently investigating social decision-making in several primate species at the Language Research Center, including capuchin monkeys, chimpanzees, and rhesus macaques. My research interests include the investigation of social behavior using tool-use tasks, economic game theory via exchange tasks, and joint computerized tasks. Within these different approaches, I am interested in the motivations underlying these social interactions and the contexts in which cooperative behavior would have emerged. My previous research at Winthrop University focused on habitat utilization and resource partitioning of nine different primate species in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest during the dry season.
