We never stop learning! With 10+ years of research experience, I am a biological sciences expert with focuses on systems neurobiology, biochemistry, and general biology. Although my field of interest has continually changed, my passion for understanding biological systems and how to improve them in diseases has remained ever present. The four-year-old kid in me never stopped asking “Why?” and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon. All in all, I am passionate about learning new things, performing extensive research, and disseminating what I’ve learned to anyone who will listen. What good is learning if you can’t share it with the world?

I recently received my PhD in Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, where I worked with Aryn Gittis, studying motor circuitry in a Parkinsonian mouse model.
