Profile Summary

I currently reside in my hometown of Phoenix, AZ (Mountain Time Zone) in the United States. My research interests include quantitative, education (secondary and post-secondary, and social science (esp. Psychology & Counseling)-related projects. I completed my Master of Arts in Education (MA.Ed.) degree in School Counseling at Ottawa University, Phoenix in May 2019. My Master's Capstone Paper (a formal research proposal that included an academic Literature Review, proposed Methods, and Anticipated Results) was on the topic of assessing and improving school climate for underrepresented and sexual minority (i.e., LGBTQ+) high school students. Additionally, for my first Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree in Higher Education Leadership at Arizona State University (ASU; in 2012), I also successfully completed a Master's Action Research Project. I obtained IRB approval to recruit academic advisors at ASU to attend a 6-hour "SafeZONE" diversity workshop to increase participants' knowledge of the advising and personal/psychosocial needs of LGBTQ college students. I created and administered anonymous pre- and post-test questionnaires to measure the change in participants' knowledge of advising LGBTQ students as a result of attending the SafeZONE training. I would be pleased to collaborate on a project of any topic in which my skill set may be a good fit your needs (e.g., manuscript writing and editing; statistical data analysis using SPSS and interpretation, etc.). Last year (in 2017), I assisted a former classmate with writing the Results chapter of her dissertation (I used SPSS to analyze her pre- and post-test survey data and wrote interpretations of the findings). Her project evaluated the effectiveness of an 8-week empathy-building instructional curriculum among teenage youth residing in a juvenile correctional facility. The results of a paired-samples t-test indicated that participants' self-report measures of Empathic Concern (p = .034) and Overall Affective Empathy (p = .009) had significantly increased from pre- to post-test, as a result of receiving the treatment. I also previously attended a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology degree program for 4 semesters (completed 38 semester credit hours), and I completed my program's Statistics & Research Methods I and II sequence of courses. I have previously taught PSY 101: Intro. to Psychology as an adjunct faculty for the Maricopa County Community College District. I have also previously worked as a Teaching Assistant for the doctoral-level Statistics and Research Methods course in my prior Clinical Psychology program. Additionally, I also served as an Assistant Editor for a student-run, peer-reviewed journal (Current Issues in Education), published by ASU's Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College.
