I'm a PhD candidate in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at the University of Texas at Arlington. My research focuses on personnel assessment and individual differences, particularly the design, scoring, and validation of situational judgment tests. A growing part of this work examines how large language models are reshaping assessment development and scoring. Running alongside both is an interest in how I-O psychology produces and critically evaluates its own knowledge.
After completing my Master's degree from St. Mary's University in 2021, I spent several years as a Personnel Research Psychologist with the United States Air Force, where I led large-scale job analysis surveys and developed competency assessment tools validated across the service. As part of this work, I conducted research into how to modernize and improve current practices in job analysis. I then served as Manager of Research and Development at Leadership Worth Following LLC, where I built and validated assessment centers for the evaluation of senior leaders within organizations. Most recently, I completed a role as a Talent Scientist at CodeSignal. Across all of these roles, I have consistently been drawn to the research aspects of my work, trying to solve problems where the existing literature ran out and new answers were needed. This led me back to academia.
Outside of research, I enjoy good food, especially barbecue, trying new board games/video games, and running.
