About me

I am originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, where I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Political Science at the University of Utah.  While in Utah, I enjoyed an active lifestyle of dirt biking, skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, and marital arts.

In 2004, I sold the motorcycle and packed away the snow gear and I moved to Melbourne, FL to pursue graduate school at Florida Tech.  Fortunately, living about 10 minutes away from the beach allowed for the adoption of new interests.  I received my Masters degree in Industrial / Organizational (I/O) Psychology in 2006.

While in Florida, I was employed at Harrington & Associates, which is a small consulting firm that specializes in compensation and performance management.  During the summer of 2008 I moved to Pittsburgh, for a position as a research consultant at Select International.

I am currently pursuing my PhD and I have completed all of the necessary course work to receive my degree, however, I am still actively working to complete my dissertation.
