psychology student, undergraduate researcher


the vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination — stuck on this carousel, my little eye can catch one-million-year-old light. a vast pattern — of which I am a part — perhaps my stuff was belched from some forgotten star, as one is belching there…what is the pattern, or the meaning, or the why? it does not do harm to the mystery to know a little about it.

about me

hi, i'm min! i recently graduated from ohio state, where i studied psychology, cognitive science, and religion as an undergraduate. this fall, i'll be beginning my phd in developmental psychology.


my coursework & research experiences focus in the development of moral and social cognition. i am interested in understanding how young humans think about the moral nature of relationships, with special interest in love, obligations, and social contracts.


in my free time, you can find me reading fiction, swimming, at a ceramics or yoga class, trying new coffeeshops, or on a long walk listening to yacht rock!
