Most of this blog is about my own experience with a mood disorder and brain injuries, but my educational and professional background is relevant to how and why I have these insights.
This isn’t my full resume, it’s the work/school items most applicable to understanding my neural and physiological patterns and how to use technology to encourage them. These are the phases of my life where I’m working with doctors (MD and PhD), helping develop medical technology, reading research (often peer-reviewed medical journal articles), and generally deep-in-the-nerdiness that I so love.
