Kaitlyn works as a CMA at Aksarben Village Senior Living. She's also a research assistant in Dr. Wong’s lab, where she is trained in RNA probe synthesis, EthoVision analysis, fish handling and care, Zantiks behavioral analysis, PCR, and micropipetting. With the support of a Fund for Undergraduate Scholarly Experiences (FUSE) grant, Kaitlyn is researching how different levels of dietary protein consumed during zebrafish development affect stress expression after exposure to chronic stress in adulthood. She hopes to eventually write a manuscript that will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Previously, Kaitlyn was a 2023 Scott Scholars Design Studio intern where she worked with Nebraska Medicine to design a technological solution using pink noise to improve patients' gaits. At UNO, Kaitlyn is involved in Sigma Lamda Gamma National Sorority as the Vice President of Academics and is a member of the Asian Student Union and Math Club. After graduation, Kaitlyn plans on attending graduate school to become an occupational therapist and working with people who have suffered from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or the geriatric population.
