Research 

My research interests revolve around two themes: interpersonal emotional processes and type 1 diabetes management. I aim to understand how empathy, interpersonal emotion regulation, and other emotional processes function within social relationships in varying contexts. As a person living with type 1 diabetes, I apply these frameworks to investigate how emotions operate in type 1 diabetes management.
