As a PhD candidate in Pharmacology Toxicology, my primary responsibility has been to conduct independent research, produce high-quality data, and complete a dissertation. My thesis involves molecular mechanisms of neuroprotection using phytocannabinoids to inhibit neuroinflammatory responses and synaptic deficit after TBI-like injury. In addition to.

I have been able to help on an individual basis with material covered in the medical pharmacology class taught to second year medical students and graduate students in the medical school. Topics covered included: Basic review of Pharmacokinetics/Dynamics & Autonomics; Anticoagulants; Anti-Arrhythmic Drugs; Diuretics; Chemotherapeutics/antimicrobials.

In this position I was tasked with understanding and thoroughly explaining the biochemistry grounded in topics such as: Enzyme Kinetics, Specificity, & Regulation; Gluconeogensis; Lipid Biosynthesis & Catabolism; and Nitrogen Acquisition & Amino Acid Metabolism.

During my MPH, I worked as a clinical research coordinator. My primary responsibility was to assist with the planning, implementation, and management of a an early-phase project that looked at the neurocognitive outlook of patients undergoing TAVI procedures. This included tasks such as working with the PI to obtain IRB approval, developing study protocols.

Facilitated the creation of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) prevention program. Tasked to work with clients who had previous ACL injury and needed to regain strength in lower extremities while increasing core stabilization and strength. This was viewed as a prevention strategy for future ACL injury. Furthermore, I worked with sports performance clients.

Slippery Rock, PA

For this position, I was required to know the basic principles taught in biomechanics (ERS 202). Through this experience, I learned to accurately assist students who were struggling to understand concepts taught by the instructor such as stress/strain forces, applying Newton’s laws to the body and bodily movements, and the principles of the stretch-shorten.
