Biography

I am a postdoctoral associate primarily interested in math and science development. I investigate cognitive and affective factors associated with individual differences in mathematics and science skills. In my current postdoctoral position I am principally involved in early childhood math research with the Math & Numeracy Lab. I also continue to develop my own line of research on the contributions of statistical skills to individual differences in science reasoning.
