I am a PhD candidate of Environmental Psychology, that explores the dynamic relationships between people and different environments. I have a background in Architecture which feeds my interest in the ways different places influence, and are influenced by, our behaviors, actions, and perceptions. My dissertation focuses on the relationship between school design and planning and social issues like bullying. I have taught statistic labs for 3 years at Brooklyn College. This has opened my eyes to the struggles of incorporating meaningful assignments and real-life scenarios into our courses that could help students relate to and retain the knowledge they learn in college.
