About Me

I am a psychometrician at IXL Learning. My work, spanning assessment, research, and statistics, empowers students, teachers, and school districts with comprehensive K-12 curriculum, individualized guidance, and real-time analytics. You can find more information about this work at our diagnostic hub.

Prior to joining IXL, I was an assistant professor at James Madison University. At JMU, I taught in the Assessment and Measurement Ph.D. program and the Quantitative Psychology M.A. program, in addition to my work in the Center for Assessment and Research Studies. I was previously a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health working alongside Dr. Elizabeth Stuart and Dr. Rashelle Musci.
