About me

Posted by melissa  Published in Half engineer, Half neuroscientist

I’m a neurology research technician; my undergraduate degrees are in biomedical and electrical engineering.  I also have a masters degree in neuroscience. I’m a girl who loves to geek out on Apple products, Wii & Xbox 360 games, movies, Legos, and all that fun stuff.  

I also enjoy planning events and volunteering for various unconferences and nonprofit events in the Philadelphia area. I’m the city organizer for Philadelphia Twestival, as well as a partner in Red Stapler Events, a branch of Red Stapler Consulting.

I love to read any book I can get my hands on, cuddling with my kitties, spending time with my family, playing with my gadgets, spending time with the awesome people on the Philly and NYC tech scenes, and watching TV shows and movies with my sweet, geeky husband.
