education
B.S., M.A., and soon-to-be Ph.D. in Human Factors & Applied Cognition
FL -> DC
I went from the University of Central Florida to George Mason University. See some of my projects below:

Featured figures from my empirical works
Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
in Low and High Self-Control Individuals
For my first dissertation project, I assessed how individuals different in their trait self-control experience losses of sustained attention – and which regions in the brain drive those differences in behavior.
Event-Related Potentials in Monolinguals and Bilinguals
Here I investigated the neurobehavioral etiology of bilingualism, determining individual differences in language processing. This figure shows time courses and topographic maps for two ERP components.
Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
on the Spectrum of Mental to Physical Fatigue
During my undergraduate thesis, I examined the effects of fatigue (mental or physical) and whether they were combined or separate on executive function. This figure depicts the effects of all four permutations of fatigue in the prefrontal cortex.
Featured figures from my systematic analyses
15 Years of Extended Reality in Human Factors
Our book chapter looked at trends in XR methods across 530 articles within HFES – including the evolution from 1st generation (darker colors) to 2nd generation systems (lighter colors), to their use in training within military, healthcare, entertainment, manufacturing, and transportation environments.
50 Years of Medical Human Factors
We identified research trends in 1,251 articles in the HFES and HCS Proceedings, ranging from
growth in telesurgery, assistive technologies, medical devices, to physician and surgeon training.
