What I'm looking for

I’m interested in challenging clinical research and operations roles that combine independent problem-solving with multidisciplinary collaboration. I thrive in detail-oriented environments with strict deadlines and I am open to travel. I enjoy developing creative solutions to complex problems. My expertise is in neuroscience, but I welcome other therapeutic areas

At The Taub Institute at Columbia University, I managed neuroimaging data quality and operations supporting concurrent clinical trials and research studies. I developed SOPs that reduced MRI processing time by 30% and a MATLAB validation tool that reduced data-processing errors by 20%.

I co-authored 8 peer-reviewed publications and supported research on Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. Through Cognitive Care Initiative, which I founded, I translate research into resources for caregivers, older adults, healthcare providers, and communities.
