A little bit about me

I’m currently a 5th year Ph.D. candidate in Cornell Psychology Department. Through this course, you’ll see a little glimpse into my research interests and teaching philosophy.

To my students

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to deliver this course, I learned so much from all of you. For being so graceously understanding of my shortcomings as a new instructor, for laughing along with me at my brain farts in class, and most important of all, for doing your best in the midst of the pandemic, thank you. You’re truly champions and I’m so proud of you.

You can always contact me at ss3837@cornell.edu. Some reasons you may want to contact me:

• To say hi and give me some life updates
• To ask for letter of recommendations
• To ask about grad school applications, my experience during Ph.D., or research more broadly
• To ask questions when you’re not sure who to ask (I may not have the answer, but I may know people who do!)
