This honors ePortfolio showcases my work as a nontraditional neuroscience student focused on translational neuroscience, chronic pain, and substance use disorders (SUDs), integrating bench research, preclinical models, clinical studies, and science c ... ommunication. Across projects, I connect neurobiology and behavioral science to study interactions between chronic pain, addiction/SUDs, and mental health, aiming to translate mechanistic neuroscience into more effective, evidence-based clinical interventions. A central feature of this ePortfolio is a year-long independent research project using a preclinical mouse model of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) to study VEGF-driven neuroinflammation, NLRP3 inflammasome signaling, and novel therapeutics targeting pain behavior, central sensitization, and brain–bladder communication. I present this work in dual formats: scientific language for researchers and trainees, and plain-language summaries for patients, families, and the general public, demonstrating my ability to translate complex mechanistic neuroscience, behavioral assays (mouse grimace scale, von Frey, voiding behavior), and imaging data into clear, accessible narratives. Beyond the IC/BPS project, this ePortfolio features a self-directed substance use disorder (SUD) research and science communication project, where I synthesize literature on the cellular and molecular effects of alcohol, methamphetamine, and opioids on the brain into accessible, educational materials for learners without a neuroscience background. A series of edited “I am / I want to become” statements and reflective essays connect these projects to my coursework in neuroscience, health psychology, sociology, and I/O psychology, tracing how my perspective as a nontraditional student shapes my goals. Together, these artifacts highlight my growth as a translational scientist, science communicator, and advocate committed to building neuroscience-informed, data-driven, trauma-informed care systems for people living with chronic pain and substance use disorders.
