What I'm looking for

I am seeking research or clinical roles that let me apply neuroimaging skills, engage with patients, and support translational, community-focused health projects.

I am a Bachelor of Science student in Physiology and Neurobiology with strong academic performance (GPA 3.93) and hands-on research experience in neuroimaging techniques including EEG, MRI, and eye tracking. I contribute to lab operations at the LandiLab and completed training and an internship at UConn's Brain Imaging Research Center, where I presented a poster at the iBACS conference.

I pair research skills with community-focused clinical experience through student organizations: pre-medical outreach, free medical clinic triage, and volunteer screening programs (glucose and urinalysis). I aim to apply neuroimaging and patient-facing skills toward translational research and community health initiatives.
