Researcher on spatial cognition and environmental psychology. Her research interest focuses on individual differences in spatial navigation, such as gender, navigational behaviors (e.g., GPS use) and beliefs related to spatial abilities (e.g., self-efficacy, growth mindset and gender stereotypes). She is also interested in understanding how characteristics of environments, such as restorativeness, urban features, navigability, etc., interact with people's wellbeing, as well as cognitive and emotional functioning.
