About

As a doctoral student in School Psychology at Ball State University, my research interests lie at the intersection of twice-exceptionality and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Specifically, my scholarship focuses on psychometric considerations in ADHD diagnostic assessments, as well as the reconceptualization of diagnostic criteria and symptom clusters to broaden the understanding of adolescent and adult ADHD phenotypes.

 

I am an active member of several professional organizations, including the National Association of School Psychologists, the American Psychological Association (Division 16), and the American College Health Association. Additionally, I am a fellow of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology.

 

My methodological expertise encompasses both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, informed by diverse epistemological perspectives. To complement this foundation, I am pursuing a certificate in institutional research to enhance my capacity for data-driven institutional evaluations and to support the advancement of my academic career. Concurrently, I am authoring a memoir that critically examines the lived experiences, diagnostic processes, and educational implications of twice-exceptionality and ADHD, integrating empirical rigor with contemporary theoretical frameworks.
