1. Summary Master of Science UCLA graduate specializing in the field of signal processing,
machine learning, data science and medical imaging. My research in Neuro-
engineering and my work experience have both cultivated the analytical ability and
technical skill to analyze data in a variety of domains including social media data,
sensor array signal and medical images. Lastly, my attentive awareness of
people’s needs and my natural talent as a communicator have allowed me to
thrive as a leader in both a relational context and in engineering projects.
