"In my time at the CTB, I led behavioral trials of both healthy older adults and superagers. Furthermore, I observed fMRI practices and contributed to compiling analysis from our fMRI data. Throughout my work in this internship, I leaned on a lot of skills that I learned at MIT, such as problem solving, persevering, and not being afraid to try new things. Through MISTI Spain, I had the opportunity to learn more about both Spanish culture and language as well as bioengineering research. I am so grateful for this opportunity and have learned more than I could ever imagine!"
