I’m so excited to be attending Rutgers University for my Ph.D. in Quantitative Biomedicine!
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with my B.S. in Computational Biology in May 2024. Subsequently, I worked as a Bioinformatics Analyst at the University of Pittsburgh.
I spent my final semester as an undergrad at the Williams-Mystic Coastal & Ocean Studies Program, where I studied science, history, literature, and policy, conducted independent research, and visited a few different coastal regions! I wrote about my experiences on this blog.
At Carnegie Mellon, I was co-president of the undergraduate Computational Biology Society and played oboe in the All University Orchestra.
I love reading books and I share book recommendations on this blog frequently. I also love watching birds.
