Biography
I recently graduated from Hofstra University with a B.S. in Pre-Medical Studies, minoring in Biochemistry and Psychology. At Hofstra, I worked in the laboratory of Dr. Maureen Krause conducting immunology research on Crassostrea virginica. Currently, I am working as a member of the Vesely Lab in the Department of Dermatology at Yale School of Medicine, where I have the opportunity to explore my interest in Dermatology, specifically skin immunology, both clinically and in the lab. I will be pursuing my M.D. at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell starting late 2024.
