With over 8 years of experience in clinical psychology and mental health, I am passionate about applying evidence-based interventions and innovative technologies to help people overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. As a Clinical Research Coordinator at UCSF, I work with a multidisciplinary team to conduct a cutting-edge study on the effectiveness of gamified incentive-based treatment for individuals with stimulant use disorder. I am also a Cognitive Companion at Cognition Builders, where I provide personalized support and guidance to clients with various cognitive and behavioral needs. In my current roles, I leverage my skills in crisis counseling, data management, and program development to ensure the quality and integrity of the research and the services. I am responsible for screening, enrolling, and monitoring participants, administering assessments and interventions, and collecting and analyzing data. I also design and implement cognitive strategies and plans for clients, and collaborate with their families and caregivers to enhance their functioning and well-being. Additionally, I have an extensive background in Suicide Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral approaches to health and mental health wellbeing, and HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ rights. I have supervised and mentored hundreds of volunteers and counselors in mental health advocacy roles and graduate preparation.
