Work Beyond Academia

I translate research into practice and advise projects at the intersection of identity, attention, and well-being. My focus is on turning evidence into tools that coaches, educators, and teams can use right away.

  • SPKN — The Sport Professional Knowledge Network
    Research & Resource Manager. I produce readable summaries of sport science and practical guides for coaches and athletes, with clear methods notes and takeaways.
  • Startups and applied projects
    Scientific advising on measurement, study design, experience sampling, and content accuracy. I help teams scope questions, choose valid instruments, and interpret data responsibly.

Applied Practice

  • vibe.social — applied psychology work focused on using AI to facilitate human connection
  • Pacific Psychological Associates — prior psychometrics role involving test administration, scoring, reporting, and clinical research support.

How I Can Help

  • Study design for real-world settings, including brief ESM protocols
  • Selection and adaptation of validated measures
  • Data interpretation, figures, and plain-language summaries
  • Workshops for coaches, teachers, and staff on evidence-based practices
