Biography
I am a driven neuroscience Ph.D. candidate with extensive research experience with active involvement in numerous research presentations and conferences. While at Yale, I have received several awards and fellowships—such as the SfN neuroscience scholars fellowship, reflecting excellence in academia and research. I am affiliated with organizations such as the Society for Neuroscience and the Molecular Psychiatry Association, showcasing a commitment to professional development and community involvement.
Outside of the lab I enjoy lyra/aerial hoop, being a novice food reviewer, traveling, hiking, volunteering, and making people laugh.
