✨ Team Member Tuesday: Finally featuring the face behind the posts! ✨

If you’ve been to DS Research, there’s a good chance you already know me — and if you follow us here, then you’ve definitely seen my work 👀

“Kaley is one of our incredible Research Assistants and the person who runs our social media! She joined DS Research in 2023 after working as an ER tech at UofL Health, and recently graduated from the University of Louisville with a degree in Molecular & Cellular Biology on the pre-med track.

Kaley plays a key role in supporting our coordinators, helping our studies run smoothly, and making sure patients feel welcomed and cared for.

When she’s not in the office (or scheduling our next post), you can find her outdoors with her dogs Milo & River or spending time with friends and family. 🐾”
