What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply evidence-based research, quantitative analysis, and clear communication to support organizational decision-making while continuing to grow as a researcher and mentor.

I've conducted developmental psychology research at the University of Maryland, analyzing complex data on attachment, gender, and coping with discrimination using SPSS, R, and Mplus.

My work includes published research in Frontiers in Psychology and presentations at the Society for Research on Adolescence and the American Psychological Association Annual Convention. I've also researched intergenerational attachment, children's emotion regulation, and cultural variations in attachment across UMD, CSUN, and UCR labs.

Alongside research, I've mentored undergraduate assistants, taught psychology and applied multivariate statistics, and translated technical concepts for academic and non-technical audiences.
