Angela was hired as a research assistant following her internship at the Foundation. Through her work at the Rocco Ortenzio Neuroimaging Center, she gained skills in data science that have enabled her to contribute to a range of rehabilitation research projects involving new technologies such as eye tracking. Passionate about moving the field forward, her work involves engaging with researchers and study participants as well as gathering and analyzing study data. Angela’s efforts to ensure data quality help improve the outcomes of clinical trials aimed at changing the lives of people with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury.
