Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Oregon. Studying the development of spatial cognition as it relates to STEM achievement and factors that impact that relation (e.g., spatial/math anxiety, executive function, sex differences, etc.).
📢 Researchers in early math!

We’re doing a meta-analysis on children’ math interest, performance, and the role of the home environment.

We’d love to include unpublished work (preprints, theses, papers)!

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m thrilled to *finally* announce that our meta-analytic review of the relation between spatial anxiety and spatial skills is published!!!

It’s now available in online format from Psychological Bulletin!

Not having the ability to discuss an idea with a colleague because their office door happens to be open.

There’s a certain disconnect when you work remotely or (in my case) when you work in a building that is largely empty the vast majority of the time.

I miss such collaborative spaces.
What’s the hardest part about working virtually for you?

Nothing worse that forgetting you’re not using your nice headphones so everyone in the room hears your “I’m focusing” music at some level🤣

At least it was just the instrumental playlist… sorry to those around me for the bagpipes. 😂
