Welcome to my Portfolio

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Southern California, dual majoring in Psychology and Public Relations and Advertising. My interests are centered around psychology, neuroscience, public health, and making complex research understandable to broader audiences.

 

I have experience in research, healthcare communications, and public relations through ENIGMA Worldwide Medicine, the USC Keck School of Medicine, public relations agencies, Palm Springs Life Magazine, and a clinical psychology internship. In my current role with ENIGMA, I support public relations, events, and outreach. I have also contributed to science-funding communications connected to a $5 million donation supporting neurodegenerative disease research at USC Keck. Through PRSSA and PRSC, I have gained additional experience with client work, event planning, outreach, promotional materials, social media, and funding initiatives.

I especially enjoy translating topics in psychology, neuroscience, statistics, and public health into communication that feels personal, clear, and grounded in evidence. My academic experience includes statistics, biomedical and health data analysis, and the London School of Economics summer program in International Relations and Global Health. I am particularly interested in participant recruitment, study promotion, research assistance, science funding, and communication strategies for research labs and public health programs.

 

My long-term goal is to combine psychology, neuroscience, and public health research with clear, accessible, and ethical communication. After graduation I will work in healthcare, medical, or pharmaceutical public relations. After working full time in public relations, I plan to pursue either a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology or a graduate degree in Occupational Therapy. I am eager to support research teams that value scientific rigor, collaboration, and meaningful public engagement.
