Sarah’s research interests:
The career decision making process, basically when and how we decide what we want to be when we grow up as well as the factors influencing these decisions. I am also interested in general decision-making that takes place in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
What Sarah currently does for work and research:
I work as a graduate assistant for the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences Deans office where I have the opportunity to work with great people and work on projects I enjoy (mostly working with data). I love my job. In terms of research, I am currently working on a study looking at the relationship between executive function, identity, and career decision making.
What Sarah does for fun as a graduate student:
I love being a graduate student and would like to be student/research assistant forever. If that doesn’t work out then I would like to be a professor/researcher. I feel extremely blessed. For fun, I like to hang out with great people (my family and friends). I also like to travel, go dancing, eat out, go running/hiking, play board games, watch TV, and read.
