Data and Research Nerd
Hi, I’m Amanda
I love research and making meaning out of data. I have over 8 years of research experience in the quantitative social sciences. Over the past year, I have transitioned into the data sciences.
I grew up in a small town in Iowa on a farm. In my free time I enjoy cooking (and baking).
Due to my humble beginnings, I am pretty sure that I would survive a zombie apocalypse.

Sample research
Do teachers impact general reading motivation through “situated” motivations that occur during classroom lessons?
My survey study suggests: YES!
Teacher’s classroom instruction likely creates situated, moment-by-moment motivations that then impact general reading motivation over time.
