I am a skilled scientific research and data scientist with 10+ years of experience. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for software development, as well as proficiency in MATLAB and Python, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points also include presentation and analytical skills, project coordination, biology and neuroscience, education and mentoring, writing and editing, and numerous facets of team and operations leadership excellence. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, as well as resource management to support efficiency and maximum results. Currently, I am a Graduate Researcher with the Department of Physiology at UCLA. In this capacity, I craft MATLAB-based analysis software to forecast animal behavior patterns. I also leverage machine learning and deep learning tools to dissect complex neural datasets. In addition, I regularly liaise with senior leadership to ensure the lab’s support structure is driving progress forward with minimal expenditures.Along with my exemplary professional experience, I hold vital academic credentials that align well with my fields of expertise. I will graduate with a doctoral degree in Neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, motivated, and detail-oriented scientific and technical leadership candidate who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that consistently deliver positive results.I am pursuing new opportunities and can be reached through this profile, or by phone at: (919) 723-8208.
