What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining research and direct client support where I can apply assessment and data analysis skills, teach or mentor, and contribute to evidence-based interventions in supportive team environments.

I am an undergraduate researcher and Registered Behavioral Technician with hands-on experience in psychological assessment, SPSS-based data analysis, and qualitative interviewing. I independently designed and completed a research project on maternal identity and incarceration, presented findings at national conferences, and apply rigorous methods to synthesize literature and interpret results.

I have strong communication and teaching experience as a Spanish teaching assistant and writing center tutor, and I currently provide behavioral therapy for children with autism. I am committed to evidence-based practice, mentorship, and helping clients and students achieve measurable growth through individualized support.
