Summary
Neuroscientist with a highly interdisciplinary, deeply technical, and rather romantic PhD journey. I am hoping to become an “ex-academic,” with over a decade of experience in multidisciplinary and collaborative research. I have built a far-reaching and reliable network, learned inimitable skills, and now show steeled resiliency. My goal is to bring my insights and experiences as a scientist into focused hubs of science-adjacent industries. I have fostered brute-force optimism over the last decade; and I believe that no matter what lies ahead of us, we will figure it out.
