  Research Assistant

  Working alongside Dr. Budoff, our focus centered on researching the efficacy of cardiac CT scanning as a tool for preventive cardiology. Within this role, I assumed the responsibility of meticulously analyzing CT scans of the heart and measuring calcium scores while also managing and organizing large data sets. This required me to be highly organized and detail-oriented, as well as proficient in various software programs used for data analysis. I developed an appreciation for the intricate interplay between research, data analysis, and the advancement of medical knowledge.
