About

With an extensive background in developmental psychology, I have been involved in psychology and medical research for 6 years. I have held managerial positions, in charge of research assistants and data collection. I am pursing a career in the healthcare industry, with a particular interest in tools that empower patients to take steps to improve their own health. From a research perspective, I'm interested in how electronic medical records allow for more accurate and informative epidemiological studies. I have personal interests in nutrition, running, and mental health--particularly in educating children and young adults on these topics.

In a long-term, large-scale quality of care study, I was involved in all aspects of data collection. Duties involved in-person interviews of hospitalized patients, follow-up phone interviews of discharged patients, and data extraction from patient medical records. During my time there, I trained and oversaw numerous other research assistants on the interview processes.
