Conducting original research on the effect of aging related neurological decline on late-life mobility for the purposes of improving health outcomes in older adults.

Applied epidemiological methodology in the context of opioid use disorder treatment to inform overdose prevention practices.

• Conducted research related to chronic pain mechanisms in the spinal cord• Generated data on the regulation of post-operative pain by limbic brain structures• Managed scientific program for breeding genetically modified animals• Created standard operating procedures for lab inventories and genotyping• Performed animal handling on swine for translational research

• Composed six songs for “FUENTEOVEJUNA” by Lope de Vega adapted by Anthony McKay• Directed cast members involved in the songs in weekly rehearsals• Worked alongside director to translate and adapt Spanish lyrics into EnglishPlease reach out for access to the performance.

• Scientifically communicated experimental designs and results in neuroscience lab• Supervised progress, data, and upkeep of undergraduate lab projects • Wrote and edited protocol and standard operating procedures • Managed online laboratory supply database using Quartzy• Delegated tasks to undergraduate research-for-credit students and work-studies• Procured equipment and effectively communicated with vendors and suppliers• Provided reliable genotyping of mouse lines and preparation for larger experiments

• Designed experiments for graduate project studying chronic pain mechanisms within the amygdala • Communicated and presented findings in lab meetings• Coordinated with lab students to successfully carry out experiments in a shared lab space• Managed and maintained the laboratory alongside the head lab technician• Created general-purpose solutions and managed inventory• Cared for animal colony and followed experimental protocols

• Collaborated with Ph.D. student in mouse model behavioral study using a prototype treadmill• Performed error analyses in MATLAB to evaluate the accuracy of a tracking algorithm • Verified the success of lesioning viruses using immunofluorescence• Communicated and presented updates on analyses findings in weekly lab meetings

• Graded assignments for Modern Biology undergraduate course• Facilitated group discussions, explained course concepts, answered student questions • Filmed class to ensure that information could be revisited and understood by students
