I am a Ph.D. candidate and Andrew W. Mellon Predoctoral Fellow studying Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh’s Learning Research and Development Center with a minor in Quantitative Methodology. My research interests are focused on reasoning, problem solving, and motivation in the context of STEM learning.
I have a passion for working with data and possess strong skills in computer programming, statistical analysis, data visualization, and survey design. I also have experience with qualitative and mixed methods research.
In addition to my experience with research and analysis, I have a background in media production and graphic design which makes me especially well suited for creating effective science communication.
