Welcome to my website! I am a PhD Candidate at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, pursuing my doctorate in Learning Sciences & Technologies. I am currently a Teaching and Research Assistant working under the guidance of Dr. Stacy Shaw.
My research focuses on using IPEDS & NPSAS datasets to examine the prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Higher Education, how Trait Curiosity affects students' propensity to experience Hyperfocus episodes, and whether Utility Value Interventions actually work for students with Hypercuriosity. When I am not working on my dissertation, I am involved in projects focused on rest and its benefits for college students across well-being and academic outcomes.
For more information on my work, please visit my website and my lab affiliation, the CEDAR Lab.
