“Working with the Birkman Method is an exciting and challenging experience,” said Elizondo, “and I look forward to meeting with peers and discussing the ramifications of personality assessment for occupational psychology.”

As Birkman’s newest researcher, Elizondo has a double bachelor’s in Psychology and Spanish from the University of Oklahoma and a Master of Science in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, with an emphasis in quantitative methods and statistics from Lamar University.
