As a hyperbaric technician, I assist in the maintenance of operations at UCLA Hyperbarics. I collect vital signs and blood sugar upon patient arrival. Then, I carefully operate the hyperbaric chamber to pressurize it in simulating a scuba dive to either 45 or 60 feet below sea level. I also go into the chamber alongside the patients for the duration of the two-hour treatment and administer oxygen tubing/breathing gear. While in the chamber, I monitor and control for health emergencies and provide emergency care while at depth for patients when necessary. Examples of emergencies I have encountered are cardiac arrest, seizures, and brain bleeds.I am responsible for communicating patient status with the hyperbaric nurse, hyperbaric managers, and vascular surgeons who are all outside of the chamber.

In the Kuhn Lab, I was responsible for coordinating patient intake visits, which included explaining and ensuring understanding of the purpose of the research studies. Additionally, I obtained consent forms in accordance with approved protocols from patients enrolled in the study. After receiving MRI Certification, I assisted and ran scans on patients in our mild cognitive impairment study. We were preparing tom begin two studies using low intensity focused ultrasound pulsations (LIFUP) for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s patients. This study will serve as proof of concept for potential clinical neuromodulation therapies for these conditions. I was working on recruitment and data collection for clinical research projects with data about attention, memory, and emotion. Finally, as a Senior Capstone Project, I conducted a large-scale literature review investigating potential applications LIFUP could have for Alzheimer's disease. The project looked in depth at the disease pathology and possible methods of targeting for the technology.
