I am a passionate and caring individual with an extensive knowledge of mental health and treatments including the 12 step program. I am a dedicated worker and a fast learner. I am very observant and attentive and care deeply for those struggling with mental health. I am dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle and have extensive knowledge of healthy coping mechanisms.
I am a research assistant in Dr. Todd Kippin's psychopharmacology lab. We perform surgery on rats, implant catheters, and inject them with drugs including cocaine and use various animal models of addiction to measure their behavior. We study the mechanisms behind addiction and treatments for addiction. Outside the lab I spend time researching articles on developments in psychopharmacology.
My hobbies include rock climbing, yoga, mediation, journaling, hiking, going to the gym, reading, learning about hypnotherapy, art, and aerial.
