About

As a Doctoral Researcher at the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases and a PhD candidate in Biomedical/Medical Engineering at the University of Florida, I am focused on advancing our understanding of neural networks. My research explores precursors to behavior and the effects of stimulation in neurological systems using electrophysiology and bioimaging. With a Master of Science from Arizona State University and a professional background at organizations including Dexcom and Barrow Neurological Institute, my work has spanned neural analysis, post-signal processing, and collaboration on clinical studies. I am driven by a commitment to innovative biomedical research that addresses neurological challenges and contributes to improved patient outcomes.
