What I'm looking for

I am seeking a neuroscience research role where I can apply neuroimaging and lab skills, work collaboratively on impactful projects, and continue developing technical expertise and leadership.

I am a motivated neuroscience graduate with a strong foundation in biomedical science, hands-on laboratory experience, and extensive data analysis skills using R, MATLAB and Python. My Master’s project involved fMRI connectivity analysis using SPM and the CONN toolbox, and I have practical experience in ELISA, PCR, cell culture, microscopy, spectrophotometry and other molecular techniques.

I have worked in fast-paced environments delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines, balancing academic research with customer service and administrative roles. I apply critical thinking, rigorous data handling, clear scientific writing, and collaborative leadership to drive projects forward while maintaining ethical and safety standards.
