  Sept 2021 - Jun 2024

  As an honors thesis student, I have developed a study on whether different types of gestures (iconic, deictic, or none) help 5- to 12-year-olds perform better in a memory task. For this, I have produced all relevant materials such as testing instruments, Qualtrics survey to collect data, participant / counterbalance sheet, and procedure guidelines and protocols for replicability. I have also established relationships with local schools and after-school programs to recruit participants. In my year long position as the Developmental Psychology teaching assistant, I hosted weekly office hours, led exam review sessions, and scheduled one-on-one meetings with students to support the professor’s teaching of the material. I also graded approximately 220 exams total (2 midterms per semester, for 2 semesters) and had the chance to speak to the class each semester about my own research experiences to encourage them to get involved. As one of three International Orientation Directors, I was in charge of all of the programming and supervising of the 2022 International Orientation. Along with my co-directors, we revamped the International Orientation schedule by meeting with college Deans and creating a more enjoyable and informative orientation experience for incoming international students to better support their adjustment to (college) life in the United States. I facilitated weekly TA sessions and small group meetings to answer questions and re-visit lessons to help students be comfortable with the course material. Through this role, I learned to provide constructive mathematical feedback by grading 90 problems sets each week. In this position, I created answer keys for problem sets every other week (alternated with the other TA) to speed up the grading process. I also hosted weekly TA sessions to answer any homework questions the students had.

  Senior research assistant in child development

  At Dr. Andrei Cimpian’s lab, I have gained extensive experience in both leading research projects and managing a lab. My current research work involves co-authoring a manuscript on the development of fragile masculinity in (pre-)pubescent boys, and supervising a study focused on the development of awareness and endorsement of gender-based power differentials. I have presented my findings of the latter study at two national conferences (pictures below). Most recently on the administrative side, I have trained and supported incoming lab managers to ease the lab’s transition period to new leadership. Show less

  Research associate

  At Dr. Lori Markson's Cognition & Development Lab, I am exploring how children come to understand race and how they use racial cues to guide their actions. As a senior presence in the lab, I am helping out with lab management tasks, training undergraduate research assistants, and leading inclusive participant-recruitment efforts. I am also developing a project on children's development of a sense of common good.

  Educational and professional mentor

  I am leading a 1:1 mentorship relationship with a prospective psychology graduate school applicant. In our conversations, I unveil the hidden curriculum of the field, relay fellowship and scholarship opportunities, and advice on best application practices—basically, paying forward all the help I have gotten to get to graduate school. This work is tied to my advocacy for the demystification of academia and support for the inclusion of minoritized identities in psychology.

Monique Ward and Dr. Susan Gelman, I am studying how media influences children's identity development, especially their gender identity.
