Overview
I am a Psychology & Neuroscience Ph.D. student at Duke University working with Dr. Felipe De Brigard. My main research interest is the relationship between memory and forgiveness. I am particularly interested in understanding the effect that forgiveness has on traumatic memories in the context of war. That is why an important part of my research is carried out with victims of political violence in Colombia. I do cross-cultural research using behavioral and psychophysiological methods. Additionally, I am interested in studying imagination, moral psychology, and emotional exhaustion.
I earned my B.A. in Psychology with Honors from Universidad Javeriana and my M.A. from Universidad de los Andes (Bogota, Colombia).
