@lexiellis
Motivated psychology professional passionate about human behavior and storytelling.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a motivated and versatile psychology professional with a strong academic foundation and research experience. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Oregon, where I achieved a GPA of 3.9. My education has equipped me with advanced statistical training and a deep understanding of human behavior, which I apply in my work to create accessible content that blends psychological insight with digital storytelling.
During my time as a Research Assistant in Dr. Sara Hodges' lab, I supported studies focused on empathy and interpersonal understanding. I gained hands-on experience in running experimental sessions, collecting participant data, and managing informed consent procedures. My independent thesis on perspective-taking and social perception allowed me to analyze complex datasets using SPSS and R, identifying behavioral trends that contribute to our understanding of human interactions.
In addition to my research experience, I have worked as a Public Information Officer and a Social Media Influencer, where I utilized my skills in science communication and public outreach. I am passionate about DEI in research and community work, and I strive to engage audiences through content creation that reflects psychological themes.
