Ashley Sosa Rodriguez
@ashleysosarodriguez
I'm a psychology and neuroscience researcher supporting behavioral studies, crisis intervention, and youth development.
What I'm looking for
I'm conducting neuroscience research at the University of California San Francisco through the Simons Foundation’s Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship, where I analyze neural and cognitive datasets in Python, train rats for behavioral experiments, and present research on neurotypical differences at the SURFIN Symposium.
At The Progress Foundation, I support clients through crisis intervention, treatment-plan implementation, group sessions, and medication monitoring. I also bring community-building, peer mentorship, event coordination, and youth workshop experience, alongside training in CPR, First Aid, AED, Basic Life Support, cognitive behavioral therapy, and life coaching.
