About Chelsea Backer
I am a recent graduate of Wake Forest University (2023), where I earned my bachelor\'s degree cum laude in psychology with a minor in neuroscience. Currently, I am pursuing a master\'s degree in psychology with a concentration in clinical neuroscience at NYU starting in September.Previously, I gained valuable experience as a clinical operations intern at Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, where I immersed myself in the intricacies of clinical trials and honed my research and collaboration skills. During my summers, I dedicated my time to impactful causes, interning at the Robin Hood Foundation and volunteering at Bid-A-Wee animal shelter. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in the 2021 New York City District Attorney\'s primary elections, managing a team of high school students as a poll greeter and collector.I am currently a research assistant at Mount Sinai, working within the neurosurgery department to assess cognitive and emotional decline post-stroke. This role has allowed me to further develop my research capabilities and deepen my understanding of neurological disorders. I am enthusiastic about leveraging my creativity, strong writing abilities, and comprehensive knowledge of behavior and neuroscience to contribute meaningfully to innovative projects. I am eager to connect with like-minded professionals and organizations seeking a dedicated and motivated researcher.Specialties: creative writingclinical research organizationpsychologyneuroscience managementleadership
