I am a social psychological researcher with over 7 years of experience exploring personal and social factors that impact how people think, feel, and behave through innovative qualitative and quantitative research methods. I have always been curious about human behavior and am driven to discover how to optimize human experiences across various contexts. My educational background in the social psychology of human behavior and interdisciplinary research methods have propelled my abilities to explore how to elevate people experiences and processes. In the future, I am excited to not only understand what people think, say, and do, but explore how people learn to think, say, and do in order to optimize human health and well-being in complex environments. I possess the following skills that would allow me to thrive in a career focused on understanding and enhancing people experiences: ● In-depth knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods resulting in 22 national and international conference presentations. ● Innovative ability to interpret data in translational ways that provide practical action steps to transform people’s experiences as demonstrated by the creation of 7 evidence blogs on Mindful Sport Parenting. ● Generate and design surveys and data collection techniques on cross functional teams to answer person centered research questions as evidenced by 3 peer-reviewed publications.
