I’m an early career researcher building on my strengths in biological research design, big data analytics, and bioinformatic software development. I'm currently pursuing my PhD in Bioinformatics at Temple University, where I work with Dr. Sergei Pond on evolutionary genomics. My research adds a new evolutionary model to Dr. Pond's existing software package, HyPhy. You can read more about the Multiclass Synonymous Substitution (MSS) model in my publications.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy exploring Philadelphia, playing board games, and spending time with friends.
