Student Leadership in change teams
The Access Network consists of nine university-based programs co-working with graduate and undergraduate students across the country towards a vision of a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible STEM community. This project aims to understand how student leaders define their roles within the organization and what implications this has for students and the Access Network.

Effective Practices for Physics Programs (EP3) Project
I joined the EP3 project at the end of the Spring 2020 semester as a Graduate Research Assistant under the advising of Dr. Chandra Turpen. This is a project, led by APS in collaboration with AAPT, that aims to help guide Physics departments in improving their undergraduate programs. My research has contributed to understandings of faculty buy-in to change efforts, how students are partnered with during departmental change, and how professional development can support these efforts.

Network Science
Network analysis is a range of techniques that aim to depict and measure the interconnecting relationships between discrete entities. In my work, I apply these techniques to various levels of networks. I have developed a methodology for studying Likert-style surveys through a network lens based on how survey items are answered in similar or different ways. This method has been used to depict important relationships between aspects of physics graduate student experiences that build to larger themes.

Writing-to-Learn
Writing-to-learn is a teaching pedagogy that promotes the use of writing to help students solidify knowledge and come to deeper understandings of complex processes. WTL can take many forms and its effectiveness varies depending on the context in which it is used. This work was done at the University of Michigan between the Summers of 2018 and 2019.
