about me

hello! I'm Haley, a cognitive scientist and college educator. currently, I am a fellow at Harvard University, teaching in the psychology department and mentored by Talia Konkle. I am passionate about pedagogy, especially teaching that emphasizes inclusivity and student metacognition. my courses have crossed disciplines and age groups, and I am always looking to advance my skills to best serve my students. I have a Scholar certification from the national Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning, and am pursuing research projects in the Science of Teaching and Learning (SoTL).

I completed my PhD in cognitive science at Brown University, where I was advised by David Badre. I studied how the human brain (see mine to the right!) effectively organizes information for complex, controlled behavior. my research applies my background in computer science to pressing psychological questions. previously, I studied at the University of California, Berkeley where I conducted research with Silvia Bunge and Anne Collins.
