Professional Experience and Accomplishments
Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago
While working as the only undergraduate in the Locomotor Recovery Laboratory over the past two years at the #1 Rehabilitation Hospital in the country, I’ve contributed to projects leading to a poster presentation at the Combined Sections Meeting of the American Physical Association in 2014 as well as being a co-author on a recently accepted publication in the Neurorehabilitation & Neural Repair – the highest of 62 rehabilitation journals in terms of impact factor. Importantly, this work has had a direct impact in our laboratory acquiring a multi-million dollar grant to progress with further research projects and studies of which I still continue to be involved with.
