I graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2020 with a B.A. in Molecular & Cellular Biology and Spanish. As an undergraduate, I researched the role of hypoxic transcription factors in osteomyelitis in the James Cassat laboratory in Vanderbilt University Medical Center. After graduating, I continued as a research assistant in the Cassat lab, where I kept up with my research in hypoxia and added a collaboration with the Seattle Children’s Hospital investigating chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis, a fascinating and understudied disease. In November 2021, I switched to computational biology and joined the Lau lab. Amongst other projects, I work primarily in single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of digestive system cancers. For fun, I like to be outside, daydream about future travels, and play chess.
