As a graduate student I independently taught several undergraduate classes. I frequently presented my research at regional, national, and international conferences. I regularly wrote manuscript for publication. I received an National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Aging (NIA) R36 dissertation grant to study auditory cognitive training among older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

• Conducted comprehensive interviews and cognitive assessments with diverse participant groups, including healthy older adults and individuals with mild cognitive impairment and Parkinson’s disease, contributing to the understanding of cognitive aging processes.• Demonstrated proficiency in database management by modifying database design, forms, and reports in Microsoft Access, ensuring efficient data organization and retrieval.• Implemented rigorous data quality control measures to maintain the accuracy and reliability of research data, enhancing the validity of study outcomes.• Administered cognitive interventions to participant cohorts, including healthy older adults and individuals with Parkinson’s disease and mild cognitive impairment, contributing to the development of effective intervention strategies.• Contributed to grant writing efforts and collaborated on an NIH-funded clinical trial, demonstrating expertise in research proposal development and project management.• Facilitated lab meetings and provided mentorship to undergraduate research assistants, fostering a collaborative and supportive research environment while ensuring the smooth execution of research activities.

• Led participant recruitment efforts, developing, and implementing effective recruitment strategies to ensure target enrollment goals were met within specified timelines.• Designed and implemented recruitment scripts and protocols, streamlining the recruitment process, and enhancing participant engagement and retention rates.• Developed comprehensive study coordination materials, including manuals and training documents, to guide research staff and maintain consistency in study procedures.• Conducted in-depth interviews and cognitive assessments with healthy older adults, contributing valuable data to cognitive aging research initiatives.• Implemented robust data entry and data quality control systems, monitoring data integrity and accuracy throughout the duration of the study.• Provided training and supervision to 5 undergraduate and 1 graduate research assistants, fostering their professional development, and ensuring adherence to research protocols and ethical standards.
