Gabriella Vulakh graduated from Brown University with a BS in neuroscience. She completed an honors thesis for the degree studying neurodevelopmental disorders with induced pluripotent stem cells. Gabriella also worked with Brown Emergency Medicine as a medical scribe in emergency departments around Rhode Island, helping to document patient encounters and support the treatment teams in both lower acuity triage areas and high-intensity critical care areas. She shadowed neurosurgery operations at Rhode Island Hospital and rounds in the neurology intensive care unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, both accredited Level 1 Trauma Centers. Gabriella has been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to pursue an MA in disaster management at Tel Aviv University. She plans to combine her experiences in neuroscience and emergency medicine to investigate the intersection of disaster planning and traumatic brain injury. Gabriella’s future goals are to attend medical school and apply the fellowship coursework to her clinical interests in emergency medicine and neurosurgery.
