I completed my Ph.D. in the Cognition, Brain, and Behavior program at the Graduate Center, the City University of New York, in September 2019. I have been involved in various research studies over the years, including both Master's and Ph.D. programs. I have been teaching psychology courses, including research methods, experimental psychology, general psychology, statistics laboratory courses, introduction to cognitive psychology, and cognitive psychology.

​

My aspiration to have a research-oriented career dates back to my undergraduate studies. My curiosity regarding connecting various psychological entities, exploring how to bridge other fields (inside and outside of academia) to psychology lead me to be involved in interdisciplinary studies and innovative teaching experiences.

​

Throughout the years, I have attended various in-person workshops (e.g., design thinking crash course) and online courses (e.g., designing gamified learning environments).

 

I have conducted various research studies, from research in cognitive psychology (e.g., the use of infographics to assess context processing) to clinical research studies (e.g., sleep research studies) to educational studies (e.g., how to gamify statistics labs).

​

While pursuing my master's degree and afterwards, I have worked at Special Education Centers. I observed and assessed the behavioral and cognitive states of children with special education needs. I also provided counseling to parents of children. I served as a liaison between psychiatrists, school teachers, families, developmental-behavioral pediatricians, and caregivers of the children in collaboration with children's special education teachers.

​

All of these experiences have prepared me for teaching and research-oriented careers in the psychology field.

I love exploring new places, new food, and diving into the details of anything that peaks my interest. My dog and my husband accompany me on my adventures.
