My Nonprofit Reviews

Working with CURE Epilepsy over the 2022 summer was one of the most enriching experiences I have ever had. I contributed to the research team as a summer intern and worked on projects such as categorizing the clinical trials done on epilepsy using clinicaltrails.gov, explored impact reporting tools, and updated information about the disease burden of epilepsy. All members of the staff were warm and welcoming. They were willing to discuss and explain current research on neurological disorders and had genuine drive to help advance the methods of care for epilepsy. Dr. Lubbers, the chief scientific officer, was enthusiastic about inclusivity and having a diverse range of opinions—which I greatly appreciated—and made sure to invite guest speakers to webinars who have had lived experiences with epilepsy, and in general, was always eager to hear new ideas. She is an amazing leader and role model who was organized, passionate, and experienced. I am excited to see what CURE does next in terms of webinars, grant funding, spreading awareness on SUDEP, and more!
