Summary

Through my time as a research assistant for Dr. Pury and my own personal research experience at Clemson, I have developed many skills that can be helpful in a PhD Clinical Psychology program. I have excelled in presenting my findings, using statistical software like SPSS and SAS to analyze my data, and research I have done independently has received top marks compared to my peers.
