About Me

I am a Neural Science PhD Candidate in the lab of Dr. Richard Tsien at New York University, with an interest in the molecular basis of learning & memory.

I previously worked as a Research Specialist in the lab of Dr. Russell Margolis and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where I published work on a drug screening of small molecule therapeutics for Huntington's Disease.

I received my B.A. from Wellesley College, where I majored in biochemistry and worked in the lab of Dr. Sharon Gobes. There, I completed an honors thesis on changes in synapse morphology associated with song learning in zebra finches.

My other interests include: cooking, cycling, education, fostering cats*, and developing support networks for women and minorities in the sciences!
