I am originally from Vancouver, Canada. To date, my research has focused on the meaning frameworks that shape our perceptions and guide our behaviors in everyday life. It explores the ways that we affirm meaning frameworks when unrelated meaning frameworks are threatened by unusual and unexpected experiences (e.g., visual anomalies, self-schema violations, absurdist humor).
