What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on neuroscience research roles that combine animal and human studies, emphasize rigorous methodology, collaborative teams, and opportunities for publication and translational impact.

I am a neuroscience-focused research assistant with hands-on experience in stereotaxic surgery, chemogenetics (DREADDs), rodent behavioral testing, histology, and participant-facing neuropsychology research. I contribute to experimental design, data organization and quality control, and scientific writing, and I have presented posters at major conferences.

My work spans animal models and human-subject research related to Alzheimer's disease and cognitive impairment, including recruitment and testing of clinical participants and collaborative publication on real-world activity recognition. I prioritize rigorous methods, clear communication, and collaborative problem-solving to advance translational neuroscience.
