What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my research skills in clinical settings and contribute to impactful psychological studies.

I am a dedicated psychology student at the University of Texas at Austin, where I am pursuing a BA with Special Honors. My academic journey has been enriched by my involvement in research, particularly in the areas of anxiety and health behaviors. I have co-led data collection for significant studies, such as the STEP3 project, which explores exercise-based interventions for smoking cessation in individuals with high anxiety sensitivity. My commitment to research is further demonstrated through my honors thesis on emotional prediction errors in exposure therapy.

In addition to my research experience, I have served as a teaching assistant for an Introduction to Statistics course, where I guided students in statistical concepts and R programming. My passion for psychology extends beyond the classroom, as I actively participate in professional development workshops and contribute to the academic community through presentations and publications. I am eager to continue my journey in psychology, focusing on clinical applications and research that can make a meaningful impact.
