About Me
Statistical data analyst for Washington University in Saint Louis and grant manager on Wild Religions grant from the Templeton Religion Trust.
I received my masters in cognitive psychology where I designed and programmed experiments probing attention, perception, motivation, and reward processing.
I mostly spend my free time writing, gaming, or collecting dice.
