Keytin

Hi, I'm Keytin. Welcome to my blog. About me...I currently live in south Florida and work part time as a research assistant for Geneva Sciences, a design research LLC. Since graduating from New College of Florida with a BA in psychology, I spend my spare time applying to PhD programs, pitching stories to various science news magazines, and watching science fiction TV shows and sociopolitical documentaries. Ultimately, I hope to write popular psychology books and work as a policy analyst, using psychological theory and research methods to form more effective and just social policies.
