Kathleen Roberts

Kathleen Roberts is a Research Coordinator with RME at Southern Methodist University in the Simmons School of Education and Human Development. Her research interest examines the cognitive side of mathematics learning, including how factors like math anxiety and foundational knowledge shape the way students think about and respond to math interventions. She is interested in how a better understanding of these processes can inform the design, measurement, and implementation of interventions that support all students in mathematics. Prior to joining RME, she received a B.A. in Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences and Spanish from Washington & Lee University in 2024. While at Washington & Lee, she worked in an undergraduate research lab studying child and gender development. She is currently working towards her Master of Education degree with a specialization in Learning Therapy at SMU.
