Skills Due to my thesis project and my work in various research labs at universities and hospitals, I am proficient in all stages of the research lifecycle, including: literature review, developing methods, data entry and coding, statistical analyses with SPSS, summaries, and presenting relevant finding in written documents and oral presentations. My research and academic experience has allowed me to learn Microsoft Office tools and SPSS in depth. I have received and renewed CITI training through Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Villanova University, and I value ethical behavior in practice and in research endeavors. Being involved in multiple ongoing projects at Villanova and in the Philadelphia community has taught me excellent time management and project management skills. I am entrepreneurial, self-directed and an avid learner.
