I am a Psychology Ph.D. candidate with a
Concentration in Quantitative Psychology at the University of
Miami.
My research is centered on
using evolutionary, cognitive, and social psychological approaches to
understanding how emotions function to build and maintain social
relationships, with a focus on gratitude and forgiveness. I specialize
in applying advanced statistical techniques (e.g., structural equation
modeling, multilevel modeling, Bayesian analysis) to my research
questions and recently have begun to conduct original research on
understanding the properties of Bayesian IRT models. I am also committed
to advancing open science
practices.
