      Activities and Societies: *Note: the pepperdine program did not have the research opportunities I was looking for so i volunteered at my alma mater, UCLA): Research Associate at the UCLA Ahmanson-Lovelace Brain Mapping Center (2.5 years), Psychology Dept. Research Lab Assistant (1.5 years, concurrent) Ran over 200 MRI brain scans for various research projects, helped with research design and coding in MATLAB for 8 different projects over 3 years. MATLAB was used to design the pulse frequency and locality of MRIs, coding eye-tracker data collection, and using python for data manipulation and analysis in csv/ excel. Performed approx. 35 TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) experiment sessions examening the role of mirror neurons in the premotor cortex, anterior cingulate cortex… Show more Ran over 200 MRI brain scans for various research projects, helped with research design and coding in MATLAB for 8 different projects over 3 years.

      I am taking a program that consisted of watching videos and two example cases and expanding it to become an inclusive, holistic, and continuous training based on my understanding of the psychology of fostering a tight and cohesive unit while leaning on my programming experience to build-out a fully interconnected virtual machine training environment consisting of endpoints with all 3 main OS systems, two servers, and a DC in order to simulate full-scale attacks in a contained and controlled environment. In the Phase II goals i developed, I will be developing self-contained training modules to provide experienced analysts with a faster path to gaining mastery over emerging and evolving cybersecurity threats that we see in the wild.
