Education
I'm currently a doctoral student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the social psychology department. I also work in the stats department though.
Experience
Graduate GPA: 3.98 Relevant stat classes taken: PSYCH 406 (psychology research methods I) PSYCH 407 (psychology research methods II) STAT 448 (advanced data analysis) STAT 440 (statistical data management) PSYCH 587 (hierarchical linear models) PSYCH 589 (multivariate statistics) PSYCH 588 (structural equation modeling) In college I was a volunteer tutor working with a student with a learning disability and later I was a teaching assistant in a college Stats course. I've been tutoring ever since. Concerning what traits constitute an effective teacher, one could consider attention to detail, ability to work with individuals, or one's demeanor. While all these are necessary, the most capable teachers and professors of my academic career also carried, most importantly, a contagious passion for what they studied. Similarly, I work to establish not only an understanding, but an appreciation for a particular subject; how it applies to everyday life and why that application is important and interesting.
