About Me
I am a User Experience (UX) Researcher at Amazon. Currently working remotely in Minneapolis until I move out to Seattle. Specifically, I work as part of the Delivery Experience (DEX) Design team at Amazon. 

Concerning my doctoral work at Texas Tech, I was involved in research that looked at how people coordinate their hand movements to complete two-handed tasks. For example, are people better at completing a task by themselves with two hands or with another person where each person one uses one hand? - The answer might surprise you, but as always: it depends (shocker). 

I am still a part of my advisor's (Jamie C. Gorman) lab at Georgia Tech, the System Psychology Lab (SPL). The SPL uses nonlinear dynamical systems theory as the paradigm for our research. Taking a dynamical systems approach, coupled with traditional analyses, allows us to examine how systems unfold over time.
