Research Interests: close relationships, pedagogy, community engagement

Rose is a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Attraction and Relationships Lab. She graduated from the NYU Gallatin Individualized Studies program in 2018, where she broadly studied the intersection of love and human sexuality.

As a scholar, Rose is particularly interested in understanding the role that intimacy plays in the maintenance of a diverse range of relationships. Rose is also fiercely passionate about employing teaching as a tool to inspire intellectual growth, creativity, and risk-taking.

She mostly spends her free time inhaling dangerous amounts of bread and cheese and subsequently cozying up with her electric blanket and a good show (probably something by Michael Schur). She also loves tiny, furry creatures and will soon adopt a hamster named Abrahamster Maslow.
