I am a Data Scientist working at Advocates for Human Potential, Inc (AHP).

I received my PhD in Behavioral Psychology from the University of Kansas in 2016 and then completed a postdoctoral position at the Addiction Recovery Research Center at Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC at Virginia Tech. Following my postdoc, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Kentucky before joining AHP in 2023.

I use my expertise in behavioral economics and behavioral science to understand human behavior and decision-making. My background in experimental design, R, and statistics allows me to design experiments and analyze data using both frequentist and Bayesian approaches. I also enjoy creating user-friendly R tools to simplify data analysis and visualization for others. Recently, I’ve been expanding my skill set by learning SQL and JavaScript (Node.js and Vue.js) to develop web applications.
