About
Biography
I was born in New Britain, CT and raised in Haverford, PA as the middle of three girls. I fostered a passion for developmental biology while studying Hoxa5 in the Mansfield Lab at Barnard College. After graduating, I spent one year as a research technician at Weill Cornell. I am now conducting my thesis research in the Sozen lab, studying the impact of the metabolic environment on early embryonic development.
