My projects range from digital projects (e.g. web and app interfaces) to physical products (e.g. laundry units, tractors) to workspaces and environments.

I have applied various UX and Human Factors methods, such as: heuristic evaluations, prototyping, task analyses, usability testing, focus groups, user interviews, and more. I also have experience facilitating workshops and design sessions.

My recent projects include contributing as the UX Lead for couchers.org and working as a freelance UX specialist for Centre College, JackBeNimble, and NomadNewsletter. I am currently a Human Factors Engineer for the MITRE Corporation, optimizing systems for a number of government sponsors and academic partners.

In May 2022 I received my M.S. in Human Factors Psychology from the University of Idaho and acquired my Associate Human Factors Professional (AHFP) Certificate from the Board of Certification in Professional Ergonomics.

Over the past 5 years, I have conducted research in the following fields: human factors and UX; psychology; neuroscience; animal behavior; sociology; and anthropology. I served as a Research Assistant for 2 years in the VR lab at Centre College.

I have applied my skills in various environments, such as the US, Barbados, Cuba, and India.

I have successfully presented my research and case over the past 5 years, mastering my skills in successful storytelling and effective communication.

I have presented at local conferences (i.e. Kentucky RICE Symposium) and national conferences (Midwestern Psychological Association Annual Conference), as well as a number of workshops.

I graduated with a B.S. in Psychology (2020). Throughout my academic experience, I conducted semester-long projects, applying various research and statistical methods.

My work includes analyses of virtual reality (VR) effects on social behavior, implicit racial bias, sleep, and creativity studies.

My academic background also includes a minor in Behavioral Neuroscience, focusing on how our brains operate in relation to behavior and cognitive functions.

I have excelled in my assessments and projects in related courses such as:

Drugs, Brain and Behavior; Cognitive Psychology; Cognitive Neuroscience; Sensation and Perception; Advanced Behavioral Neuroscience, and Physiological Psychology.

I have applied various experimental and statistical methods across my research projects, successfully conducting both quantitative and qualitative methods.

I am most familiar with programs such as SPSS and JASP for assessing data.
