I support clinical psychology research through participant engagement, neuropsychological assessment, and research coordination.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Psychology student at Lehigh University with minors in Marketing and Spanish, graduating in 2026.
At Massachusetts General Hospital, I supported clinical studies of Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers in individuals with Down syndrome. I worked directly with participants and families, supported recruitment and visit scheduling, administered and scored neuropsychological assessments, and assisted with sample collection and documentation.
As a Research Assistant in Lehigh’s Hands & Hearts Together Clinical Psychology Laboratory, I trained, collected and managed data, coded parent-child interactions, and contributed to lab operations.
I’ve also researched public-benefit and community-living options at Protected Tomorrows and mentored first-year varsity student-athletes through their academic, athletic, and social transition at Lehigh.
