• Human Factors Engineer IV at Monterey Technologies, Inc., Park City, UT

• I work on various projects related to UX research and design, safety analysis, error reduction, and optimizing human performance, especially in aerospace and military applications. I'm especially passionate about considering human factors in context and aim to optimize systems to meet users' needs in the field. 

• PhD in Psychology - Cognition & Neural Science (2019, University of Utah). 

  • Research Focus: Spatial cognition, navigation, and visual perception

  • Advisors: Dr. Sarah Creem-Regehr and Dr. Jeanine Stefanucci. 

  • I recently completed an NIH-funded postdoctoral research fellowship at Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute where I worked with Dr. Laurel Buxbaum and Dr. Aaron Wong. 

In my research I explore the effects of various experiential and environmental factors on human spatial cognition. I am particularly interested in individual differences in sensorimotor experience. I have four main lines of research — (1) visual perception, mobility, and navigation in low vision or after stroke, (2) the effects of physical environment structure on navigation, (3) the effects of movement experiences (training in dance and sports) and development on spatial cognition, and (4) imitation of action. I use real-world movement, immersive virtual reality (VR), and human factors methods.
