Nora Praise

Summer Student

I’m a rising senior based currently in central Massachusetts with a keen interest in neuroscience and plans to pursue a pre-med track in university. I love being in the operating room and aspire to be a neurosurgeon. I also enjoy lab research and, most importantly, patient care. Seeing how we can help patients truly brings me joy.

I aim to make a positive impact in medicine, neurology and research through activism and advocacy, spreading joy and compassion along the way. I'm so grateful to have joined the NICC lab, where I can grow my passion for medicine and research while contributing to meaningful work.

In my free time, I have a wide range of interests and love staying active. I've been playing the violin since I was 7. I also enjoy writing, photography, baking, planning, socializing, watching films and TV, doing commentary, and have recently taken up embroidery.
