About Me
Michaela grew up in the foothills of Colorado Springs. Excited about neuroscience, she moved to the Midwest for college, where she sought out a combined major in Philosophy, Neuroscience, and Psychology at Washington University in St. Louis. While there, she worked as a research coordinator for a multisite research project on transfusion protocols for patients on ECMO. She then moved to Cincinnati for medical school, where she studied the utility of telehealth evaluations for headache diagnosis and treatment and presented her findings at the AAN Annual Meeting. Throughout several patient interactions, she has developed an interest in the field of autoimmune neurology and is looking to pursue a fellowship in this area. In her free time, she enjoys hiking and skiing, cooking with friends, painting, and one of life’s greatest luxuries—drinking a good cup of tea from the top of a hiking trail.
