I started working as an undergraduate research assistant back in 2014 during my first year at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. The focus of the projects were neuroscience and psychology with an interest in gaining the knowledge and experience needed to work in a laboratory setting. This opportunity allowed me to jump into a couple collaborative projects, utilizing surgical procedures and behavioral neuroscience techniques. I had the ability to initiate, organize and watch my own projects grow throughout my 4 years as a student researcher.
I graduated summa cum laude with B.S. in Neuroscience in 2018 and was hired as a full-time laboratory manager and senior research technician. This new role allowed me to gain valuable experience in developing and conducting multiple research projects as well as to coordinate and train a group of my own student researchers.
My new position as the COBRE Behavior Core research technician began in 2021. This role allows me to aid in conducting and developing behavioral assays for a wide range of researchers interested in investigating preclinical modalities of pain and analgesic efficacy.
