Work History

Duckweed Research Student

Carleton University
05.2025 - 09.2025
  • Designed and executed interdisciplinary experiments with Biology and Physics departments to examine root-mediated frond stability of Lemna spp. under simulated aquatic disturbances.
  • Constructed and calibrated wind tunnel and vibration apparatus to model turbulence and wave-like conditions in controlled environments.
  • Captured and analyzed high-resolution displacement trajectories of rooted vs. rootless fronds, quantifying angular deflection, anchorage strength, and drag resistance.
  • Applied mechanical stability models and hydrodynamic equations to evaluate morphology–function relationships.
  • Conducted statistical analyses (ANOVA, linear regression, variance partitioning) to assess significance of morphological differences in resilience outcomes.
  • Discussed implications for aquatic plant ecology, dispersal strategies, and applied uses in bioremediation and engineered ecosystems.
  • Delivered findings in technical reports and interdisciplinary presentations, refining cross-departmental communication of scientific results.

Research Volunteer

The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre
09.2024 - 04.2025
  • Contributed to the Mind, Brain Imaging, and Neuroethics (MiBINE) program, collaborating with the University of Ottawa Brain and Mind Research Institute and international partners on projects investigating the neural correlates of consciousness, self, and emotion.
  • Conducted advanced analysis of EEG and fMRI datasets from patient populations with depression, schizophrenia, and dementia, applying time–frequency decomposition, BOLD signal modeling, and functional connectivity mapping to identify disease-specific biomarkers.
  • Utilized AFNI neuroimaging suite for preprocessing (slice-timing correction, motion correction, normalization, spatial smoothing), GLM modeling, and seed-based correlation analyses.
  • Integrated multi-modal datasets (EEG + fMRI) to assess correlations between oscillatory activity and hemodynamic responses, focusing on the amygdala, anterior cingulate, and prefrontal cortex as regions of interest.
  • Assisted in the clinical trial on music therapy for dementia patients (“Assessing the therapeutic efficacy of music interventions on depression and anxiety symptoms of individuals with dementia”), supporting design, recruitment, and implementation phases.
  • Coordinated patient participation in weekly percussion ensemble sessions (10-week program), ensuring adherence to study protocol and capturing pre-/post-intervention assessments using validated psychiatric scales (GDS, HAM-A).
  • Applied Single Case Experimental Design (SCED) methodology to assess intra-individual treatment effects, enabling precision-based evaluation of therapy outcomes.
  • Collected and analyzed biological (EEG, heart rate variability) and psychosocial measures, documenting both acute and cumulative changes in depression and anxiety.
  • Managed study documentation in electronic Trial Master File (eTMF), ensuring full compliance with ethical and regulatory standards for human subjects research.
  • Drafted structured reports, contributed to preliminary manuscripts, and presented findings during internal seminars to inform future large-scale studies.

EKG Technician

Northeast Georgia Hospital
06.2024 - 10.2024
  • Performed electrocardiograms (EKGs) on patients in various states of health, including those in critical condition and experiencing cardiac arrest, ensuring accurate and timely readings.
  • Monitored and assessed patients' heart activity, identifying abnormalities, and promptly communicating critical findings to the medical team.
  • Assisted in the emergency care of patients by providing EKGs during code blue situations, contributing to the rapid assessment and intervention of cardiac events.
  • Worked closely with physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in the Emergency Room to provide high-quality patient care.
  • Managed patient records, including documenting vital information and updating medical charts with EKG results.
  • Educated patients on the EKG procedure, ensuring their comfort and understanding in the process.
  • Maintained and calibrated EKG equipment, ensuring all devices were functioning correctly to deliver reliable results in high-pressure situations.
  • Standardized EKG processes by developing, implementing, and regularly updating SOPs for a team of 8 technicians, leading to a 22% reduction in procedural errors and 100% compliance during quarterly audits over a

Medical Assistant

Peachtree Immediate Care
05.2023 - 09.2023
  • Supported physicians in urgent care workflows, assisting with diagnostic testing, wound care, and patient triage.
  • Collected and documented vitals, medication histories, and presenting complaints for over 30 patients daily using EMR platforms.
  • Performed phlebotomy and specimen preparation under CLIA compliance standards, minimizing patient discomfort and ensuring integrity of laboratory samples.
  • Applied Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines in patient documentation, maintaining compliance across all entries.
  • Coordinated patient education by answering procedural questions and explaining care pathways, increasing satisfaction and adherence to care plans.
  • Performed EKGs and other diagnostic tests, contributing to accurate and timely diagnoses.
  • Obtained and documented patient medical history, vital signs and current complaints at intake.

FYC Peer Mentor

Carleton University
09.2022 - 12.2022
  • Conducted regular check-ins with mentees to monitor progress towards achieving their goals and to address any concerns or challenges faced along the way.
  • Developed strong relationships with mentees, fostering a positive learning environment.
  • Encouraged mentees to develop strong decision-making and problem-solving skills.
  • Promoted a sense of belonging among peers by fostering an inclusive atmosphere within the mentoring program's activities and discussions.
