Mental health practitioner with a proven track record of conducting clinical research trials, managing programs in healthcare settings, and formulating treatment plans through a passion of all-things clinical science. During my clinical psychology master’s program at Minnesota State University, Mankato, I refined the skills necessary to become a two-way scientist, as a driven researcher and compassionate clinician. This has given me the ability to act as a clinician, able to conduct symptom assessment and perform therapy; but also, as a researcher, able to conceptualize and conduct clinical trials. Through this experience, I've also gained unique insight into how health care functions, using my perspective as a psychologist to enhance program efficacy and ensure quality patient care. I have a bit of an obsession with new research in the area of mental illness, and I am always eager to learn or experience something new in the field of psychology and healthcare. I have a profound interest into the intersection of both healthcare and severe illnesses, and how managing such programs through evidenced-based models can lead to treatment success. In my current role as a Health Science Specialist at the Minneapolis VA, I am responsible for conducting and overseeing a large portions of clinical evaluations at the Neuropsychology Clinic. I conduct complex neuropsychological evaluations, and in collaborative efforts with clinical teams, I manage testing inventory, compliance with regulatory agencies, and devise treatment plans. In my former role as a Psychology Technician at the Minneapolis VA, I was responsible for many aspects of bringing a large-scale clinical trail from beginning to end. I was responsible for measuring patient symptoms through individual symptoms assessments, confirming diagnoses through diagnostic assessments, and recruiting participants from the VA network.
