Welcome to our newest podcast series, “My Life As A Research Assistant”. This series is brought to you by Kessler Foundation, where we are changing the lives of people with disabilities.

Research assistants are on the front lines of our research studies collecting data, conducting interviews, testing subjects, and are the face of Kessler Foundation to our research study participants. In 2020, Kessler Foundation was ranked among one of the Best Nonprofits to Work For and Best Places to Work in New Jersey (https://kesslerfoundation.org/press-release/kessler-foundation-ranks-among-best-nonprofits-work-and-best-places-work-new-jersey)!

Throughout this series, we’ll meet up with research assistants from our centers for mobility, spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neuroscience and neuropsychology who have been with the Foundation for over a year, and some who are now senior research assistants, nurses, medical students, graduate students, and post docs, and those who applied their experience to other professions.

In this first episode, I met up with Andrea Trotta Galliano, (Ms. Gagliano was a research assistant when this podcast was recorded) is a Senior Research Coordinator in the Center for Traumatic Brain Injury Research. She has worked at the Foundation since 2012 and is also a Licensed Professional Counselor on several current TBI protocols. Her main responsibilities are inpatient recruitment for two national projects, along with data collection & management, and administration of clinical assessments and interventions. She also volunteer as a facilitator for a Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey (BIANJ) sponsored brain injury support group where she provides psychological and psychoeducational support for survivors of brain injury and their caregivers.
