Hometown: Lexington, Massachusetts

Research Interests: The dynamic regulation of synapses is crucial for proper neural circuit function in the mammalian brain. My research seeks to characterize how signaling between class 4 semaphorins and class B plexin receptors instruct synapse formation and determine excitatory or inhibitory synapse identity.

Personal Interests: I enjoy playing the piano and ukulele, reading, and spending time outdoors!

If I weren't a scientist I'd be...a writer
