About
I am an undergraduate student in Boston University Sargent College with a major in Health Science and minor in Human Physiology. I plan to attend medical school after I graduate and hope to pursue a career in clinical neurology. I am very interested in using neuroimaging to elucidate the mechanisms behind post-stroke impairments, which ideally can provide insight into how clinicians can better support recovery. I am currently working on a project aimed at identifying naturalistic stroke patterns which are predictive of aphasia severity, and will also be working on a project identifying neural markers of cerebrovascular disease in Alzheimer’s patients. I love working with patients, and I hope this work can help myself and others improve people’s lives in the future!
