Studied full-stack web development in a 12-week intensive software engineering program for women. Hackbright Academy teaches the fundamentals of computer science in addition to modern web development.

Curriculum: Python, Javascript and jQuery plus AJAX, React, SQL (PostgreSQL and SQLAlchemy), Flask and Jinja, HTML, CSS.

Created a web app called Eat It, which prevents you from falling on your face when it comes to food management and meal planning. Eat it is your pantry in the cloud: your household's foodstuffs organized by location or expiration, where you can move, edit, or update any detail. Eat It will help you consume perishables before they expire, and let you know what has expired. Eat It can also help with grocery shopping: toggle any item in your pantry onto your shopping list when you want a refill, or add items directly. When you're ready to go shopping, the map feature can tell you which supermarkets near you are open, and once you check items off the shopping list, they are added back to your pantry with an updated expiration.

Tech stack: Python, Flask, Jinja, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, bcrypt, HTML, Bootstrap. APIs used: Google Maps (geolocation and Places Library).

My long-term research goal is to understand why no two people experience pain the same way by investigating the many factors that can alter pain perception.

My ongoing graduate research is focused on the pain modulating cells of the rostral ventromedial medulla and their surprising response to light. I have familiarized myself with the techniques required for my project, including the collection and analysis of in vivo extracellular recordings, stereotactic surgery for injection of blocking agents, and piloted different applications of heat and light to evoke cellular response. My project is highly relevant to human health because it will provide insight into the complexities of photosensitivity, which is present as a side effect of many neurological disorders and medications. The proposed project pursues the initial observations made in this lab, included on one publication currently under review, to which I contributed cellular recordings.
