About Me

During my Master's degree in Applied Neuroscience at King's College London, I gained in-depth understanding of mental health's biological and psychological foundations and the latest advancements in Neuroscience. The program also introduced me to neuroimaging techniques, neurodevelopmental disorders and research methodologies. My research project titled 'Examining the effect of psychobiotic interventions on anxiety severity in adults with anxiety or depressive disorders: a narrative review’ involved reviewing a substantial amount of scientific literature and synthesizing the findings to provide a comprehensive review of the topic. This process helped me to sharpen my skills in systematically processing large volumes of complex information.

I am passionate about exploring the impact of technology on human behavior and decision-making. I believe that a science-driven approach, using neuroscience data, can provide valuable insights and drive impactful outcomes. My previous experience working in multicultural teams at global real estate management companies has equipped me with transferable skills that are valuable in research. These include the ability to work effectively with diverse individuals, perform under pressure, take responsibility for my work, and manage my time effectively. I have also developed strong analytical and data interpretation skills that are useful in research and development projects.
