PROFILE

Seeking research and job opportunities that will permit an exploration of neuroscience and its specialties, in addition to gaining pertinent experience that will facilitate the transition into graduate school. Ultimately, would like to participate in a graduate program that aims to advance an understanding of human brain development, cognition and social behavior by promoting compelling interdisciplinary research across multiple levels of analysis, from individual biochemistry to cultural history.

EDUCATION

DENISON UNIVERSITY, GRANVILLE, OH; B.S. SOCIAL NEUROSCIENCE (IDM) 2008; GPA 3.17/4.0

Embodying the philosophy of a liberal arts education, an Individually Designed Major entitled Social Neuroscience was originated over the course of three years. This major was designed to synthesize relevant coursework in philosophy, history, economics, political science, sociology/anthropology, psychology, biology, chemistry and the neurosciences in order to facilitate a comprehensive, multifaceted understanding of human nature. It was through this coursework that a Dialectical Model of Human Nature came into fruition. As it is always under revision, the latest copy can be found .

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, EVANSTON, IL; DIGITAL MEDIA ARTS-PRODUCTION SUMMER 2004

The summer of 2004 was spent at Northwestern University studying and working with state of the art digital media technology. Was involved with writing, developing, casting, storyboarding and planning a final project entitled Progressions, under the direction of Mark W. Gray.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

RESEARCH ASSISTANT, CENTER FOR COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL NEUROSCIENCE; THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO; CHICAGO, IL SUMMER 2007

Conducted social neuroscience research on anthropomorphism, aimed at determining what factors dispose individuals towards anthropomorphic tendencies and the nature of utilizing these perceived relationships in cognitive processes. Experiences ranged from the distribution of surveys and data analysis to an fMRI analysis. Worked with Dr. John Cacioppo, assisting him with a literature review for an upcoming book and debated with him in bi-weekly discussions on current research/ideas within social neuroscience.

RESEARCH STUDENT, DENISON UNIVERSITY, GRANVILLE OH 2004 2008

An interdisciplinary major granted me the opportunity to do research in multiple disciplines, in both a laboratory and literary sense. In Advanced Biochemistry, we participated in the development and implementation of a DNA microarray experiment to study phosphate activity in Pelargonium. Moreover, similar laboratory experience was familiarized in Organic chemistry I & II, Cellular and Molecular biology and Neurophysiology.

My senior research project was entitled The Social Neuroscience of Sex; Human Male-Female Similarities and Differences from Neurological Biochemistry to Social Behavior. Embracing the ethos of social neuroscience, the goal of this research was to combine knowledge and analyze research from biochemistry, evolutionary biology, archeology, neuroscience, psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, economics and philosophy within the Dialectical Model of Human Nature in order to establish the origin and existence of human sexual dimorphisms. A working copy is available .

Additionally, during my senior year I collaborated on an Independent Art Project entitled Visualizing the Zeitgeist Native American Cultures, 10,000 B.C 1500 AD . The objective of this project was to illustrate the lifestyles of Native American Indians in an animation depicting the social history and cultural evolution or exchange of these humans on North America. A working copy is available .
