I am a research scientist who has supported Wellness Centers for high schools, investigated mental constructs like the sense of belonging, and developed statistical methods.
I love outdoor adventure hobbies. I have rock climbed for more than a decade. Recently, I began a journey to learn paragliding. I have hiked and camped in lots of places from the Grand Canyon to the forests of Pennsylvania.
Before discovering social science, I was trained as an engineer. I still love objects, mechanical systems, and learning about manufacturing processes. I built a 3d printer that I use to create fun and useful objects. Every now and then, I try to explore a new method to create: sewing, screen printing, woodworking, and metal-working are all things I have dabbled in.
