Her interest in studying concussion recovery stems from personal experiences with previous concussions and her role as a support system for friends and family members with concussions. Bianca’s knowledge in Psychology and Biology has led her to pursue a Master’s in Clinical Neuroscience, and her current research interests fuel her passion to follow a career path in Occupational Therapy.
