Yale University

I have been part of multiple different research labs at SLU, from working with rodent models and delay discounting paradigms, researching motor performance under stress in humans, or human adaptation to different geometries in Virtual Reality, yet this summer, I had the opportunity to work as a research assistant in the Computational Clinical Science Lab at Yale University, researching suicidal behavior - an experience that was both intellectually transformative and deeply meaningful for my development as a researcher. 

During my summer internship at Yale, I was able to gain hands on experience working with 18 sports, spending the majority of my time with football, men's lacrosse, men's & women's hockey, and swim. At lifts, I led movement prep stations, coached proper lifting technique, and built relationships with athletes. I learned how to utilize sports performance technology, including 1080 Motion, Hawkins Force Plates, Dashr Laser Timing Systems, and Perch (velocity based training/ VBT).
