Research
My journey as a research assistant in varying labs has informed me of a multitude of studies, skills, and knowledge rooted in data-driven processes. I have had the pleasure of working with brilliant peers and inspirational mentors making my research experience all the more enriching. This journey is reflected below through projects and presentations. Some posters have been presented at the Western Psychological Association and Society of Personality and Social Psychology.
