I'm a native of Cleveland, OH and went to Ohio University for undergrad. I love cooking (especially homemade pastas), reading, and yoga. I also try to take art classes, usually ceramics, when I have the time.

I was born and raised in Boyle Heights, California! I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2020 with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. During my undergraduate career, I studied bacterial pathogenesis and colonization in the lab of Dr. Victoria Auerbuch-Stone. Since then, I joined the IGP in 2020 and I am now in the laboratory of Amanda Doran MD/PhD in the Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology.

I grew up in a small rural town outside of Buffalo, NY. After graduating with a double major in Biology and Biochemistry from Case Western Reserve University, I spent two years working at the AIDS Vaccine Research Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I joined IGP in 2020 and Janet Markle's lab in PMI shortly after. In my spare time, I love to run, sing, and cuddle with my cat Miso!

I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. I attended Loyola Marymount University, in Los Angeles, and received a BS in biology. Directly after graduating, I joined IGP in the summer of 2020.
