My experience includes working with several litigation consulting firms on complex civil cases, as well as independently consulting on juvenile criminal matters. I also served as a Research Analyst for the Competency Remediation Project, where I focused on trial competence and legal decision-making in justice-involved youth. Across these roles, I’ve contributed to juror profiling, case theme development, and pre-trial research, bringing a strong foundation in legal psychology and evidence-based research methods to inform case strategies across different stages of litigation.

I earned my PhD and MA in Interdisciplinary Social Psychology from the University of Nevada, Reno. During my doctoral work, I studied the social and cognitive factors that contribute to wrongful convictions, including eyewitness memory, interrogations, and plea bargaining. I also hold an MS in Forensic Psychology from California State University, Los Angeles, and a BS in Psychology from Sam Houston State University.

I’m known for pairing strong statistical expertise with a warm, upbeat presence. Colleagues often note my ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights while bringing positive, collaborative energy to every project.

At JurySync, I work closely with the consulting team to support case strategy through research, analysis, and collaboration. I help ensure each project runs smoothly and contributes meaningful insights, all while keeping the client’s experience thoughtful and responsive. I enjoy being part of a team that values both precision and creativity in every stage of the process.

I got into this line of work after meeting a man who had been wrongfully convicted—an experience that deeply impacted me and sparked my passion for applying research to real-world legal issues. It opened my eyes to how social science can play a powerful role in promoting fairness and understanding within the justice system. What keeps me in this work is the opportunity to make that impact every day, while constantly learning and adapting in a field that’s as challenging as it is rewarding.

The people I work with—the team is collaborative, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. I also appreciate our approach to trial consulting, which delivers incredible insights without overcomplicating the process with statistics that don’t fit the litigation context. It’s a thoughtful balance that makes our work both effective and accessible.

I contribute to the success of JurySync clients by applying my deep understanding of social and cognitive psychology to analyze case dynamics and juror behavior. My background in forensic and interdisciplinary social psychology allows me to provide research-based insights that enhance trial strategy. Beyond my analytical skills, I prioritize clear communication and collaboration to ensure clients feel supported and confident throughout the process.

I grew up in a small town just south of Austin, Texas. Being an athlete throughout my childhood helped me develop a strong sense of teamwork, dedication, and resilience. These qualities continue to guide me in both my personal and professional life.

I feel most fulfilled when we bring together diverse expertise to overcome tough challenges and find solutions that really make a difference. It’s inspiring to see how teamwork and creative thinking can turn even the most difficult problems into successes.
