2/ I am a Ph.D. candidate in UBC PEHPA Lab, and have been pushing the boundaries of science with Mark Beauchamp for the last *cough* eight years.

3/ My dissertation research, generally, examines the dynamic role that affect (e.g., emotion, mood) plays in physical activity adoption and maintenance in daily life, examined using intensive longitudinal methods.

4/I had a series of awesome in-person data collection studies planned but I had to rework my dissertation in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

5/ I have a quantitative methods focus. I sub-specialized in Measurement, Evaluation, and Research Methods. In my research, I look at how feedback loops between physical activity and affect evolve over time using Hierarchical Bayesian Continuous-Time Structural Equation Models.

6/ Each model takes about a month to run, unless the computer crashes, or gets shut down. Or the model doesn’t converge…but I still love it... mostly...

7/ That’s all folks! See you around the Twitter-verse.

After almost a decade, our first recorded photo together. Thanks for everything!

I loved Noémi Schuurman’s ecological fallacy in academic example at #SAA23Ams so much, I’m overcoming my mild allergy to social media to share it.

Congratulations to Geri Ruissen -- recipient of APA's Division 47 Dissertation Award for 2023! Well done Geri:)

Pretty proud of this one, and couldn’t have done it without such an incredible mentor.

So delighted to be a part of this special issue!

For the past two years I’ve taught introductory statistics from 8-9:30am, so I am always looking for ways to make lectures fun and engaging. This morning was no exception. Happy Halloween! 🎃
