Summary
Emily Andrews is a Clinical Psychology PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh with 14 years of research and leadership experience focused on personality and development. She blends rigorous quantitative skills—item response theory and R/SPSS analysis developed in Eric Turkheimer’s and Timothy Wilson’s labs—with hands-on clinical experience as a trained Crisis Text Line counselor. Her work spans longitudinal twin data, emotion and fairness research, and study design, reflecting a rare mix of behavioral theory and advanced psychometrics. Emily has also led community programs and teams, from swim coaching to student leadership, demonstrating strong mentorship and program management. Known for meticulous data coding and an eye for individual differences, she investigates why siblings diverge over time and how personality unfolds across development. Based in Pittsburgh, she brings both deep analytic training (MA with a 4.0) and practical clinical exposure to translational research in personality and psychopathology.
