Graduate Student Researcher and Teaching Assistant

University of Utah · Salt Lake City, UT

As a researcher, I design and implement collaborative and independent cognitive/psychological research experiments. I also complete comprehensive literature reviews on research topics and succinctly present conclusions. I have cultivated an understanding of statistical analyses and utilized appropriate measures for experimental results analysis to ensure valid and reliable interpretation. I maintain multiple on-going projects and deadlines. Additionally, I have learned multiple methodologies as well as their strengths and limitations as research tools. In my role as a teaching assistant, I proctored and graded student exams, taught and lead students through learning basic statistical tests and software, and provided full lectures and organized course activities.

Junior Research Specialist/ Lab Manager

I coordinated research studies and scheduling participants. I oversaw several undergraduate researchers over multiple projects. I oversaw a project on individual differences through functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging on maze learning. Another project worked with virtual reality to investigate how people mentally update information of a start location in the absence of visual and proprioceptive information. Finally, I worked on an exploratory experiment seeking to understand why people choose specific routes to and from familiar locations.
