I’m looking for a research-focused role where I can support environmental and behavioral studies, use data analysis (SPSS/Python), and help translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations, ideally through hands-on monitoring and strong scientific communication.

Research-driven environmental and behavioral scientist focused on data-driven recommendations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a research-driven environmental and behavioral scientist with a current Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Environmental Studies, and I’m admitted for graduate study at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability. My work focuses on grounding decisions in evidence—whether that’s interpreting environmental data or examining how message framing affects behavior.
I’ve built hands-on experience through research and lab support at Adrian College, where I assisted students in applying scientific methodology and supported introductory science laboratories. I also coordinated research presentation logistics and academic events, and I created educational and visual communication materials using Adobe software.
In addition, I’ve supported groundwater sampling and environmental monitoring as a Data Assistant, collecting and organizing water quality data and contributing to analysis of nitrate and phosphate contamination trends. I bring strong statistical and research skills (SPSS, Python, R, Excel, research design, and statistical analysis) and I’m comfortable translating complex findings into actionable recommendations through technical reports, scientific writing, and public speaking.
