Research Technician
Georgia Institute of Technology
Major at Wooster: Psychology
My education at Wooster prepared me for life after graduation both academically and personally. My participation in research through classes and IS during my time at Wooster made my resume very strong and helped me land a job as a researcher in the field that I wanted to pursue in graduate school. The focus on both independent and group work within the classroom at Wooster helped me to thrive in my current research position. The skills that I learned at both Wooster and at my subsequent research position helped me to compile a graduate application that I was very confident in. Within my personal life my time at Wooster taught me to be more independent but also how to have a good balance of work and fun. It also introduced me to many people who have provided support and connections for me to get to where I am today. In the summer of 2012 I will be enrolling as an Engineering Psychology PhD student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. During my time as a graduate student I will be working on in-vehicle assistive technologies and other Human Factors Psychology topics.
