I graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and sociology; I also minored in biological sciences. Following my undergraduate career, I completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at the University of Dayton. I am currently a Clinical Research Coordinator III in the Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology, and my responsibilities include patient recruitment and retention, data management, and coordination of daily research activities. As a part of the Klages lab, I primarily work on studies involving pain in children with chronic illness, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
