Available to hire
With a background in health sciences and experience spanning a technology start-up, applied research, and academia, I am driven by a passion for learning and a mission to make tools accessible for everyone to thrive and achieve great things. My recent PhD research explored the impact of media representations on young audiences, where I honed my ability to communicate complex scientific concepts in clear and engaging ways.
I excel in conducting literature reviews, synthesizing data, and organizing educational or clinical content, always with a focus on creating meaningful, positive impact. Detail-oriented and highly adaptable to new technologies, I thrive in collaborative and fast-paced environments that prioritize innovation and growth.
