While at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, I had the chance to explore my passion for animation, as well as my interests in the field of psychology.I have always seen myself as having strong critical thinking skills, and the ability to see things from different points of views. This is what drew me to psychology, as I was interested in learning more about the way we perceive our world, how what we see has an impact on us during our daily lives, and how the human race responds to different stimuli on the whole. I have taken courses that explored different factors of social psychology, attention and memory, and developmental psychology.After graduation, I accepted a job at the Chicopee Public Library. While I originally started as a Circulation Associate, in less than a year I was offered the position of Senior Library Associate Youth Services. Using my passion for Japanese popular culture, I have helped expand the library’s collection of comics and manga, which is currently the section of the YA collection with the most circulations. I have also provided input on additional anime titles for the media collection and have overseen the anime club. During my time at the library, I have also assisted in running the summer reading program which has seen over 1,200 children and 100 teens for the past couple years.During the summer of 2011, I participated in a study at Bose Corporation in which I participated in user research of the then prototype product and the now released SoundLink Mini. I provided critical feedback on the functionality as well as the design of the product during my time in the study. It was a very interesting experience, and something that I enjoyed doing very much as it allowed me to use my problem-solving skills as well as forward thinking to anticipate how the end user might interact with this product.
