At the Psychological Models and Measurements Lab, I collect qualitative data on how researchers adopt and use advanced statistical models in psychological research. I present findings and contribute methodological feedback during lab meetings.

For my BFRSS Analysis project, I analyzed 25 years of NOAA extreme weather and BRFSS chronic health data using Python. At Ferreira Psycholinguistics Lab, I cleaned and preprocessed data for statistical analysis, participated in pilot studies, and administered research protocols.
