As a recent Psychology and Cognitive Science graduate, I offer a profound understanding of the human brain. Coupled with evolving programming skills, I bring insightful perspectives and technical proficiency. This equips me for roles requiring data analysis, research, and problem solving.
Engaged in current research utilizing a procedural learning paradigm to delve into the neural mechanisms of 'unlearning,' I possess a strong foundation in analytical methodologies, rendering me well-suited for professional environments. Fluent in Farsi, my bi-cultural identity enhances a positive and inclusive approach to both my work and research, fostering a universally informed perspective.
I leverage extensive experience in the disability industry, seamlessly bridging theoretical concepts with practical applications. In managerial roles, I've refined positive professional relationships with clients and co-workers, while internships have cultivated efficient communication skills for clinical meetings and documentation.
Founder of a successful society endorsed by the cognitive science department, I've orchestrated impactful events such as faculty/student debates, workshops and seminars. Additionally, hosting esteemed faculty members such as Dr. Mark Williams and Dr. Mathew Crossley on the So Much Uncensored Podcast has further contributed to cultivating a vibrant community.
