About Me

• Freelance Research Collaborations 

  • Opti-Harvest is an agricultural innovation company focused on accelerating growth and maximizing production in high-value crops using proprietary Opti-Filter™ light filtration and dispersion technology.

  • As a Quantitative Data Science Consultant, I provide ongoing data cleaning, visualization, and analysis for longitudinal trials.

  • Children’s Institute is a non-profit organization at work transforming early learning and healthy development for young children and their families in Oregon.

  • As a Research Intern, I conducted group interviews with various stakeholders and synthesized feedback data collected from a voluntary survey after an Early Childhood Mental Health Steering Committee collaboration meeting.

• Academic Research

  • My graduate research investigated basic learning mechanisms across several developmental periods: toddlerhood (2-4-year-olds), early childhood (6-12-year-olds), and adolescence/early adulthood (13-17 & 24- 30-year-olds). Visit the Research tab for more information on these projects.

  • Modeling expertise includes basic regression and mixed-effects/multi-level Bayesian & frequentist approaches to analyze longitudinal and repeated measures gaussian & logistic data 

  • Data include mixed-method approaches including both quantitative (surveys, behavioral tasks, physiological (heart rate & skin conduction) data, and neuroimaging (fMRI, MRI, DTI) data) and qualitative (structured interviews) techniques  
  • My undergraduate research investigated emotions, attention, and working memory in adult populations using behavioral (task) data, physiological data, and neuroimaging (fMRI, TMS) data ​

​

• Teaching

  • I am a research mentor to high school and undergraduate students in psychology. I work with students over the course of 8-16 weeks to develop and carry out an independent research project and write an academic research paper.

  • As lead instructor, I taught a summer course: Social Science Research: Design, Methods, & Practice. I have also served as a Teaching Assistant for the following courses at Columbia University: Research Methods in Cognition & Decision Making, Brain, Mind & Behavior, and Abnormal Behavior. Finally, I took a year off from graduate school and worked as a Teaching Assistant at a Montessori preschool in Portland, Oregon.
