Who I Am...

Hello! I’m a doctoral student in George Mason University’s Environmental Science & Policy Program. I have a prior BA in psychology and MA in Industrial-Organizational (I/O) Psychology. In 2013, I embarked on a career change motivated by a desire to apply my previous skillset to address current environmental challenges. My friends jokingly call me the "I/O BIO." Here's a little information about my skillset:

• More than ten years experience conducting and applying research to real-world settings.

• Skilled at collecting, managing, and presenting data for expert and novice audiences. 

• Experience collecting data through a variety of forums including biological fieldwork, bench chemistry, public use datasets, and behavioral methods (reviews of written correspondence, surveys, structured oral interviews, and focus groups). 

• Developed assessment tools such as behavioral surveys and interview protocols. 

• Worked in consulting, government and nonprofit arenas and offer a mix of knowledge, skills, and practical experience in ecology and psychology.
