PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH PROGRAMS AND POSITIONS
2008-2012
Pre-Doctoral Interdisciplinary Training (PIRT) Program Fellowship, Florida State University. The PIRT program is
an interdisciplinary training program designed to provide students with advanced knowledge of measurement and
evaluation in Education Sciences. In addition to normal coursework we participated in additional seminars and
conferences as well as conducted research with faculty in psychology and other disciplines throughout the university.
2012-2015
Anxiety and Behavioral Health Clinic (ABHC) Therapist, Florida State University. As part of the ABHC, I administer
structured diagnostic interviews (SCIDs) to potential research participants, conduct data analyses for multiple projects,
and complete SCID’s at follow-up appointments. I also attend weekly supervision meeting and treatment adherence
meetings.
2013-2015
Anxiety and Behavioral Health Clinic Neurophysiology Technician, Florida State University. I lead
neurophysiological data collection sessions for an anxiety-based suicide prevention program funded by the Military
Suicide Research Consortium. I administer research protocol to eligible participants including consent, data collection,
and debriefing, using psychophysiological measurements such as electroencephalogram and peripheral skin conductance
measures.
2014
Louise R. Goldhagen Multidisciplinary Evaluation and Consulting Center Consultant, Florida State University. I
consulted on data analysis for a grant-funded project examining the effects of a schoolwide behavioral intervention on
behavior problems.
