Because Every Brain Has a Story to Tell 

I’m particularly fascinated by how stress impacts mental health (yes, even vicariously!), how the brain heals after stroke, and how epigenetics plays a role in all of this. I work with mice, zebrafish, and cutting-edge neuroscience tools to answer these big questions.

Beyond the lab, I love sharing science through talks, mentoring, and discussions. As a first-generation college student, I know how important curiosity and persistence are in research, and I’m always happy to connect with aspiring neuroscientists!

Grateful to my mentor, Dr. Sumana Chakravarty, for her guidance and support during this journey.
