I graduated from Villanova University in 2022 with a BS in Biology, where I spent three years investigating the molecular genetics of pathogenic yeast species. I joined the Cancer Biology Program in 2022 and am now pursuing my PhD in the Lyssiotis Lab. Outside of lab, I spend my time practicing yoga, traveling, going for walks, and hosting my friends for dinner.
