About

I am a psychology student at Northwestern University with an expected graduation in 2025, combining my academic background with hands-on research and leadership experience. Over the past three years, I have developed skills in grant writing, research assistance, and organizational leadership through roles at Dale Duro Latin Dance Co. and various research labs. My work involves using R and SPSS for data cleaning and statistical analysis, including Confirmatory Factor Analysis and mediation analyses. I have authored grant proposals, conducted literature reviews, and presented research at APS Conferences. I also utilize AI tools like Claude and Perplexity to support psychology literature review and statistical analysis, and I have experience designing surveys and academic writing.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role as a research assistant, with duties including data cleaning, coding responses, proofreading, and literature review.
