With a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, I have over a decade of experience across medical, academic and business settings. From clinical healthcare research and interviewing to online medical writing to academic publishing, I am well-versed in a variety of medical specialities. I have also risen from the ranks of part-time copywriter to Marketing/Web Development Director within approximately a year's time for a top recruitment firm in midtown Manhattan.
The breadth of my experience positions me well for openings in business or healthcare, especially those related to marketing, writing/publishing and research.
Completed formal neuropsychological assessment of adults with brain injury, seizure disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, or other dementias in order to identify problematic areas of neurological functioning and provide recommendations for rehabilitation
"Avoiding preachiness and gimmickry, Mangan aims to give teens tools to take happiness into their own hands. Suggestions for finding solace include avoiding comparing oneself to others, tackling procrastination, focusing on the positive, and accepting both the power and limits of one’s control. Each section offers various steps, activities, and goals (for example, Mangan advises finding a good fictional role model as a way to learn about becoming more assertive in real life). The tips are straightforward, and readers should feel empowered to know that solutions may be within their grasp. Ages 13–18. (Sept.)" --Publishers Weekly
