Professional Experience

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Fall 2020 - Spring 2023

I collaborated with scholars and students with a range of expertise at the Memory Dynamics Lab (PI: Andrew Butler; Washington University in St. Louis). to bridge the educational and cognitive psychology literatures on self-regulation. Using multi-method approach (e.g., experimental design, experience sampling method, self-report surveys), we carried out several interdisciplinary studies on learning and motivational strategies, planning of learning, and multiple goals pursuits.
