With six years of preclinical biomedical research experience at the University of Illinois at Chicago, I've contributed to groundbreaking projects in collaboration with prestigious entities such as the NIH, BARDA, Novartis, and Merck, among others. My work has spanned critical areas including irradiation studies, cancer research, and COVID-19 research, reflecting my deep commitment to advancing medical science. Alongside my research, I've also embraced the role of dispatcher for a Non-Emergency Medical Transport company in Northwest Indiana, further enriching my understanding of healthcare logistics.Currently, I am navigating a career pivot into data science. Driven by a passion for leveraging big data to inform decision-making, I am honing my skills in R and other computational tools to extract meaningful insights that drive business success. This journey is complemented by my entrepreneurial venture, Qwip, a SaaS platform designed to revolutionize coordination within the non-emergency transportation industry, showcasing my dedication to innovation at the intersection of technology and healthcare.
