Greetings! I’m currently a second year undergraduate pursuing biopsychology, cognition, and neuroscience (BCN) with a minor in Philosophy, planning to graduate in 2028!

I am currently learning techniques and systems for growing, crossing, and collecting Drosophila to identify genes linked to Alzheimer’s disease and investigating how variations in Drosophila sleep cycles influence cognition and brain health, including their connection to Alzheimer’s disease. 

In my free time, I enjoy all forms of movement from yoga to weightlifting and calisthenics. I love spending time with family and friends and meeting new people!
