ABOUT ME

Background

My name is Talia and I am a senior at Marin Academy! I was led to the MARC program by my deep and abiding passion for science and experimental learning. Here, I have become part of a supportive community of like minded peers where I am challenging myself as a student and aspiring scientist. Through MARC I have engaged in astrophysics research with the Kepler False Positive Working Group and am currently engaged in research at the UCSF Department of Neurology and Glial Biology. For more about me see my portfolio!
