As a BCN student with a passion for sports my interest in concussions lies in the intersection between brain health and athletic performance. I am interested in how concussions impact the physiological, behavioral, and cognitive functions of the brain and how cutting edge interventions and rehabilitation can optimize athletic performance.

As a U-M alum with a degree in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience (BCN), I remain deeply passionate about understanding and addressing the complexities of neurological health, particularly concussions and traumatic brain injuries. The interdisciplinary approach and innovative research conducted at the U-M Concussion Center have greatly inspired me, and I am eager to apply my background in research and neuroscience to its valuable work. I firmly believe that the hands-on experience and mentorship offered by the Center would strengthen my professional development and provide invaluable insight into the practice of medicine, particularly neurology and sports medicine.
