01/2021-PRESENT
University of Texas at Austin
TEACHING ASSISTANT:
PSY420M | Psych Research Methods & Statistics
My principle duty as a TA for this course is to teach a two-hour lab each week focused on hands-on learning of psychological research design, analysis, and evaluation. To that end, I create and adjust the curriculum, assignments, quizzes, handouts, & other materials to ensure my students' mastery of basic research methodology. I also evaluate all student work with an eye for improvement and learning potential, always giving constructive feedback and encouraging rewrites where applicable.

StoryPoint Senior Living Center
RECEPTIONIST
My role at StoryPoint is essentially as the face of the company: I am the first person guests see when they come in the doors and the first person with whom they speak when they call. I am also among the first people to whom residents come with questions, concerns, complaints, and even just the intent to chat. I run the StoryPoint Market, maintain resident databases and directories, and complete projects for the directors such as flyers, themed business cards, weekly calendars, and work orders.
