I am a Ph.D Student in Biological Anthropology at Emory University at the Social Cognition and Primate Behavior Lab, and work under the supervision of Dr. Marcela Benítez and Dr. Thore Bergman.
I completed an MSc in Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics from the École Normale Supérieure and a BSc in Interdisciplinary Sciences and Cognitive Sciences at Paris Descartes University. My past work is mainly centered on primate communication, and its interplay with social knowledge and cooperation. I have worked in several different primate species including humans, Black-fronted Titi Monkeys (Callicebus nigrifons), Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in Uganda, and White-faced Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus imitator) in Costa Rica.
During my Ph.D, I am interested in exploring cooperation, conflict resolution, and decision-making, integrating insights from cognition, communication, and behavioral sciences. I hope this work can inform both in-situ and ex-situ conservation by clarifying the social and cognitive requirements primates need for well-being. I wish to bridge scientific research with public understanding and help foster more informed relationships between humans and wildlife.
When not in the forest stalking fellow primates, I like to stay in the forest or up the mountains hiking and backpacking (do not be fooled, if there are monkeys, I will follow them as well). At home I like to bike, read, and sing.
