Provide high-quality patient care in a fast-paced med-surg unit by monitoring vital signs, assisting with activities of daily living, and ensuring patient safety and comfort. Collaborate closely with nurses and physicians to streamline workflow and support efficient clinical operations. Recognize and respond promptly to potential emergencies, initiating stabilizing actions until further assistance arrives. Maintain vigilant observation and accurately report changes in patient conditions to facilitate timely medical interventions. Consistently enhance patient satisfaction through compassionate, attentive care and a strong commitment to patient well-being.

This opportunity has allowed me to get a feel of the nature of how the medical community interacts with patients one on one. I have been able to interact with nurses, PAs, doctors, PCTs. and help children through their stressful experience at the hospital. I help guide patients to and from locations in time of need. Additionally, I have helped train other volunteer friends that were onboarded at the hospital

I help aid and guide patients to their respectful locations for their appointment. Additionally, I help fellow staff members help lessen the complex nature of appointments in the hospital. This opportunity has allowed me to bring a smile to patients faces, whether that be through helping handing out donations, pushing wheelchairs or helping out at the informational desk

I maintain live fruit fly samples and track essential data. I also perform PCR testing, gel electrophoresis, chemical transformation, and growing & analyzing colonies. My work grants me deeper insight into cellular biology and the role of proteins within cells.

Investigated the role of glycosylation in modulating neurodegeneration using Drosophila models of ALS, exploring the therapeutic potential of altering O-GlcNAc levels to mitigate age-related neuronal decline. Designed and executed experiments, analyzed phenotypic data, and contributed to a broader translational research initiative targeting age-related diseases. Collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to conduct comprehensive studies and generate meaningful insights. Conducted extensive literature reviews to identify gaps in existing knowledge and inform future research directions. Gathered, synthesized, and organized large volumes of information, identifying key patterns and trends relevant to advancing project objectives.

Conducted clinical research in the Thirumala Lab investigating how intraoperative neuromonitoring data correlates with patient outcomes following brain tumor surgery. Focused on analyzing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables, including somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), motor evoked potentials (MEPs), and direct cortical stimulation (DCS), to assess their predictive value in neurological recovery and surgical success. Contributed to a broader effort aimed at improving intraoperative decision-making and postoperative prognosis through the integration of neurophysiological monitoring data. Engaged in data collection, statistical analysis, and literature review to support ongoing clinical studies and publications.
