PhD candidate at University of Utah. Studying pain, perception, emotion, & quantitative psychology. Variance obsessed Bayesian nerd, fascinated by dynamics/change over time. The mean is overrated. Opinions (& typos) are my own.
If you are at SAA and interested in moving beyond modeling means and variances in your ambulatory assessment data, come see our symposium on modeling dynamics in health and psychology data today at 1 pm in MTC1 02.13! #SAA2025

How should we quantify variability in pain, fatigue, emotional distress, and other chronic pain symptoms? Mixed effects location scale modeling (MELS) is one way that is accessible and better than the iSD! Come see my 3:15 pm poster (505) at IASP to learn more.

Possibly unpopular opinion, but winter trail running beats summer trail running any day in my book!

Still doesn't feel real! Excited to get started on my dissertation (proposal scheduled for 1/18/24) on modeling pain variability in patients with fibromyalgia, that looks like it will now have funding from NIAMS.
