Biology graduate blending neuroscience interest with music therapy training and research ambition.
LebanonWhat I'm looking for
I am a creative and dedicated biology graduate with a strong interest in the human brain, behavior, and neurorehabilitation. I combine scientific training with musical experience and am currently completing a certificate in music therapy to explore therapeutic approaches that integrate art and neuroscience.
I have hands-on laboratory experience in hematology, microbiology, and biochemistry, and I have operated laboratory instruments such as centrifuges, analyzers, and microscopes. I have also developed communication and digital marketing skills through freelance sales work promoting products online.
As an active performer (piano, oud, vocals) and church leader, I bring empathy, emotional intelligence, and community engagement to my work. I am seeking opportunities to pursue a Master’s in Neurosciences and contribute to research in cognitive function, neurorehabilitation, and mental health.
