Arielle graduated from Wellesley College, where she received her B.A. in psychology and researched young children’s relationships, both real and imaginary. Arielle is interested in learning, curiosity, and motivation in early childhood, and the roles that imagination and pretense play in social and cognitive development. When she’s not in lab, Arielle is usually playing board games, looking for new coffee shops, or begging her cat, Fideo, for affection.
