I am a dedicated and analytical professional with a strong foundation in data science and clinical research. Over 8 years of experience in Biomedical Science, 5+ years in Clinical Research, and 2+ years in Data Science. I have a proven ability to synthesize complex data, develop predictive models, and drive impactful research projects. Certified in Project Management and Clinical Research Coordination, with a commitment to advancing healthcare through innovative data analysis and evidence-based approaches.

I am currently working part-time as a NIH Graduate Research Fellow at the University of South Carolina Big Data Health Science Center and in higher education as a Lab Coordinator & Adjunct Instructor at the University of West Florida while actively pursuing a full-time clinical research or data science position. I aim to utilize my diverse knowledge of the biomedical sciences, clinical research, and data science to become an impactful member of a team within the healthcare, clinical research, or public health sectors.

As a science communicator and professor, I excel in both oral and written communication, frequently teaching, explaining, and presenting complex information and industry jargon to diverse audiences, including those without a scientific background. Recognizing the significance of teaching and mentorship, I am dedicated to honoring the legacy of my mentors by guiding others with utmost dedication and expertise.
