Responsibilities: I have been involved in all aspects of research over the course of numerous
research and consultation projects (see, e.g., publications and presentation during this time

applying for grant funding; managing IRB protocols and audits; recruiting, consenting, and
collecting data from participants; coordinating and supervising undergraduate and graduate lab
members; analyzing data; writing manuscripts; and coordinating presentation and publication
submissions. My thesis and dissertation pertain to offender self-perceptions of risk for criminal
recidivism, treatment needs to reduce that risk, the predictive utility of such perceptions, and the
impact of therapeutic assessment feedback on self-perceptions and readiness for correctional
treatment. My stipend has also been partially funded via a contract my mentor has with a private
corrections company, which was provided in exchange for my assistance with designing
outcome evaluations and analyzing very large data sets.
Dissertation: The prediction of criminal recidivism using self- and evaluator-appraised risk and
needs (date collection to be completed in March 2015).
