Kiley O, HDFS alumni of 2019

HDFS alumni Kiley is currently an Educational Psychology Masters graduate student. She focuses on the research concepts and statistical techniques that will assist her in program evaluation and other data-related plans. “In my first years before discovering HDFS, I didn’t know what I wanted to do…I just knew I wanted to help people.  After taking a couple classes, I realized that the curriculum provided very relatable, practical information that I could incorporate in my everyday life to improve the decisions that I make. HDFS has not only widen my perspective, but it has also provided multiple opportunities to discover ways to support people in unconventional ways, like program evaluation and research.  I am very thankful for all the opportunities that the HDFS program provided because it helped me further discover my passion.”
