I am a graduate student in the MA Psychology program at Carleton University, graduating in August 2026. I am passionate about developing user-friendly, web-based psychology experiments to assess cognitive functioning and human behaviour.

Current research projects include a decision-making experiment examining the effect of intuitive response generation speed, a social psychology study investigating the effect of social prediction certainty on physiological synchrony, and an experiment on how name-job fit affect hiring trends.

More About Me

Academic Background

I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in experimental psychology at Carleton University. I completed my BSc Psychology - Honours degree at the University of Ottawa.

Current Interests

My research interests include decision-making (specifically relating to one's intuition), development of web-based cognitive assessment tools, psycholinguistics, and physiological synchrony.

Methods I Use

I work within jsPsych, a JavaScript framework, to develop browser-based cognitive psychology experiments. I use R, a statistical programming language, to run quantitative analyses. I am competent using Pandas, a Python data analysis library, to carry out dataset manipulation.

Future Goals

I plan on continuing in the field of psychology research at a PhD level. Additionally, I hope to apply my research knowledge in a user experience setting.
