I'm an avid psychological researcher looking for my next project! California raised and newly California returned, I am looking to transition from academia into the professional field of user experience research. I have extensive experience through my academic journey with a multitude of empirical methodologies and analytical approaches. On top of this, I am proficient in multiple data analysis software including SPSS, R, SAS, Mplus, and MaxQDA! Finally, I am proficient in data visualization and clear communication of research findings; the latter being something I believe to be an extremely critical tool all researchers should have.Beyond my formal training is my love of videogames that I have been grateful to intertwine with my own development as a research methodologist. Talk to me about player socialization in virtual reality or anything games user researcher related, I'm always happy to chat!Besides researching, I'm usually cooking, 3D modeling, practicing Italian longsword fighting, and of course, playing videogames. Guess which one of these hobbies has been the most useful for research!
