Projects

- Research: Recycling Plastics In Maryland. Discovery from the data discovered suggests that there is a wide variety of what plastic types are recyclable in each county in Maryland. Within this paradigm, causing confusion for individuals that recycle or that attempt to recycle do so improperly. My team and I recommend that the counties agree upon recycle labels to ease the burden of proper disposable and save the environment.
- Research: Poster Presenter At National Association School Psychology, where myself, program director and current towson graduate students conducted interviews from an abundance of current minority graduate students in the school psychology field to help identify what made them choose their program and what made them fully commit to staying at their schools. This information allowed us to provide a new in depth insight for other graduate programs to implement or suggest pivotal changes that seemed practical to current student's.
