I am a data scientist at GovStrive and formerly a graduate researcher. I received my Ph.D. in psychology at Brigham Young University, where I studied the influence of episodic memory on decision-making across age groups. I have more than 10 years of experience in various research roles, working with diverse groups of people and applying my skills in neuroimaging, research design and implementation, and advanced statistical analysis.I am passionate about serving and advocating for individuals with their best interests in mind, especially vulnerable populations such as older adults, survivors of violence, and those with chronic or critical illnesses. I have collaborated on multiple clinical and human subject studies funded by the NIH and the NIA, and have coauthored and contributed to projects with teams from several prestigious institutions. With a background in marketing and advertising, I am also proficient in digital strategy and media marketing. I aim to use my knowledge and expertise to advance the understanding of human cognition and behavior and improve people's quality of life.
