I’m an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow as part of the Beltran/Zavaleta lab’s “Field-based Undergraduate Training: Utilizing Research for Equity (FUTURE) in Biology” grant. My research interests are broadly focused on measuring student learning, particularly through assessment of affective student outcomes using strategies like Rasch analysis and Item Response Theory. I received my PhD in Science Education from the SESAME program at UC Berkeley where I studied the impact of challenge-based learning in a course called “Bioinspired Design” as part of our HHMI “Eyes Toward Tomorrow” program.
