What I'm looking for

I seek research roles that use my statistical and manuscript-writing skills within teams valuing trauma-informed, culturally conscious participant engagement and opportunities to publish and translate findings into behavioral-health impact.

I am a psychology researcher with a MA and hands-on research experience at Boston University and the University of Cincinnati, focusing on LGBTQ+ stigma, depression, anxiety, and developmental learning. I use advanced R statistical models, conduct literature reviews, prepare manuscripts for peer review, and present findings at conferences.

I combine quantitative analysis with trauma-informed, culturally conscious participant care through roles as a research assistant and residential mentor, managing experimental administration, data integrity, and confidential participant support. I seek to apply my research, data, and community-engagement skills to advance behavioral health and evidence-based programs.
