Graduate Students
Nandrea Burrell
My research interests include examining the relationship between neighborhood and parental involvement in academic achievement of students from elementary to high school. I’m interested in better understanding the roles and impact these out of school factors can have on students’ academic achievement, perception, and goals. I hope to add to the existing knowledge in this area.

Rachel Conlon
My research interests include exploring the relationship between gender and academic self-concept in math, particularly in middle and high-schoolers. I’m interested in understanding and addressing the gap between girls’ actual math abilities and their perceptions of those abilities, with the ultimate aim of tackling the underrepresentation of women in the STEM community.

Elyssa Geer
My research interests include studying children's spatial reasoning skills in relation to their math- and science-performance and achievement. I am interested in looking at the way in which different external factors (such as gender, socio-economic status, etc.) impact this relationship. One of my goals is to further knowledge in this area in the hopes of discerning new interventions that may be applicable in an educational setting.
