About


I am a Counseling Psychology doctoral trainee studying under Dr. Paul Ingram at Texas Tech University. My long term goals include completing post-doctoral training in neuropsychology and working as a professor at an R1 university. 

Research:
My research focuses on contextual assessment of personality and neuropsychology. My publications span psychometrics, executive functioning, and neuropsychology across the lifespan. I am familiar with R, Mplus, and SPSS, and I am proficient in basic statistical methods (e.g., t-test, ANOVA,  regression), classification statistics and test validation, meta-analysis, Structural Equational Modeling (SEM), Item Response Theory (IRT), and basic mixture modeling (i.e., LCA/LPA).
