About Me
Caitlin conducted research in a movement disorders lab focusing on dopaminergic cell transplants and optogenetics in a Parkinson’s disease rat model. She also has an interest in neuroimmunology. She completed the Bridging the Gaps Community Health summer internship program in Philadelphia, where she collaborated with a community leader at a high school for adult learners to implement health and wellness resources, create a mindfulness summer curriculum, and conduct a survey on adult learning styles. Passionate about medical humanities, she participated in DUCOM humanities courses exploring wellness, philosophy, and the arts in medicine. Caitlin served as a Med Scholar, assisting in M1 education in anatomy, and was a preceptor in the neuroscience course. She was co-president of the Student Interest Group in neurology and previously worked as a Medical Assistant in an outpatient neurology clinic. Outside of work, she enjoys crafts, pie decorating, indoor cycling, yoga, reading, hiking, and trying to teach her cat tricks.
