Anxiety and Behavioral Health Clinic Neurophysiology Technician, Florida State University. I lead neurophysiological data collection sessions for an anxiety-based suicide prevention program funded by the Military Suicide Research Consortium. I administer research protocol to eligible participants including consent, data collection, and debriefing, using psychophysiological measurements such as electroencephalogram and peripheral skin conductance measures.
