What I'm looking for

I seek roles that blend neuroscience research and clinical application, offering mentorship, hands-on patient care, and opportunities to contribute to translational neuro research.

I am a Neuroscience major at Georgia State University focused on molecular neuroanatomy, computational neuroscience, behavioral neurobiology, and neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI. I have led gene annotation research using BLAST and FlyBase, presented at regional symposia, and conducted literature reviews on diabetes prevention.

Clinically, I have hands-on experience as a Medical Assistant, Medical Scribe/Trainer, and Remote Patient Monitoring/Chronic Care Management specialist, skilled with EMR systems and patient education. I combine research rigor and clinical practice to translate neuroscience findings into improved patient outcomes.
