About Sylvia Merz
I am a senior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Cognitive Neuroscience and minoring in Public Health and Statistics. My passion lies at the intersection of global health, data analytics, and organizational strategy, with a special focus on improving outcomes for aging and perinatal populations. As an aspiring healthcare consultant, I aim to leverage data-driven insights to address complex healthcare challenges and drive impactful, patient-centered innovations.Currently, I work as a Research Assistant within UIUC\'s Laboratory for Emotion and Stress Assessment, where I investigate pain perception in the brains of perinatal women. I am also a consultant within Students Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations and a course assistant for STAT 212 (Biostatistics).
