I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Notre Dame in 2019, and I am currently a graduate student in the Pharmacological Sciences Training Program (PSTP). I am a member of the Society for Duke Fellows, PCB Seminar Speaker Selection Committee, and GradX Organizing Committee. My project takes advantage of next-generation sequencing approaches to extend the concept of spatial encoding to a new layer of gene expression control (post-transcriptional regulation). Outside of science, my hobbies include yoga, running, and going to Duke basketball games.
