Consulting, Literature Review, Neuroscience, Experimental Psychology, Applied Medical Science, and Data Interpretation

Profile Summary

I am a neuroscientist specializing in a holistic approach to understanding the connections between the brain microbiome and practical, medically applicable interventions for neurocognitive, psychological, and neurodevelopmental disorders. My passion is in putting the puzzle pieces of a scientific story together. Literature review and data interpretation are therefore my strongest areas of interest. I have worked on impactful applied projects and published work in the areas of medical neuroscience, cellular biology, and applied cognitive psychology.
