About Me

I'm a full time graduate student. I completed my Master's of Science in Applied Experimental Psychology in December and began a PhD program in Human Factors Psychology. I am a graduate teaching assistant. I also work part time for the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Combatant Craft division as a Human Factors specialist. My research focus: Human-Computer Interaction and distributed team performance and decision making in serious games (i.e., distributed computer games used for training in the military).
