A B O U T
TL;DR: Jumped from politics to corporate to academia and entrepreneurship and lived to tell the tale. Fascinated by relational psychology and human connection. Writer, facilitator, amateur comedian. Not really, but I should be.
B.A. Pomona College, Political Theory,
M.A. NYU, Psychology & Philosophy, 2026.
The Long Version: Midwest -> LA -> NYC. Only child. Bad at small talk. Good at well-performing introverting.
I operate under the fundamental understanding that we are put on this earth to connect. There are a lot of ways to do that. I’m here to explore them.
My educational background began in political theory, specifically Arendtian political theory, with a focus on desire, power, and relationality. I’ve always been deeply intrigued by how we interact, how we come to know ourselves in relation to others, and the subtle dynamics of power that live inside intimacy. Turns out I’m just fascinated by how we relate to each other: how we co-exist, how we are transformed through relationship, and how we learn to love.
I tried the corporate America thing for a hot sec. But eventually I realized what I really wanted was to study the “special sauce” that brings us together as humans. So: we pivoted. I’m completing my master’s in relational psychology and philosophy at NYU, where I study relational intelligence, somatic psychology, and attachment theory.
Now I create content, workshops, and events around relationships, weaving together psychology and philosophy to share what allows us to build deeper, more fulfilling connections with others and with ourselves.
Most importantly, I’m grateful. So damn grateful. I can’t believe that I can wake up and do this every day, that people can share in my academic curiosities, that we can create spaces and communities out of people who want to show up better for each other and the people we love.
So hi. It’s great to meet you. Thank you for being here.
With care,
Aubrey
