I am a psychometrician at the Center for Accessible Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Systems where I work on the Dynamic Learning Maps alternate assessment and the Innovations in Science Map, Assessment & Report Technologies project. I completed my PhD in Educational Psychology & Research at the University of Kansas with an emphasis in Research, Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics. My research interests are in the areas of R programming and psychometrics, specifically the application of diagnostic classification models to educational assessment.
I love the Cubs, Royals, Chiefs, and above all else, KU basketball. I currently live in Kansas City, Kansas, with my amazing wife and our rescue dog Larry.
