Bio

Honors graduate from Cornell University with a major in biological sciences and a minor in business. Passionate about translating findings in immunology, microbiology, and biochemistry into clinically relevant outcomes. Strong interest in the intersection of science and business.

Current Role at Stanford

Researcher in the Gaudillière Lab, Department of Anesthesia. Currently conducting CyTOF experiments, clinical research coordination, sample processing, and data analysis to integrate clinical findings with experimental results and advance understanding of immune adaptation. Current studies look at how the human immune system responds to physiological stressors like traumatic injury, stroke, pregnancy and pregnancy-related complications.

  • Life Science Professional Researcher I, Stanford University, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Baxter Laboratories

    2 years of immunopathology research in the Nolan Lab at Stanford University conducting CyTOF experiments to map single-cell immune responses. Main projects include studying immunological variables in infectious disease survivors (Ebola, SARS-CoV-2), investigating immune components in the under-researched disease Konzo, analyzing immune profiles from various COVID vaccination methods in primates, and applying spatial proteomics and transcriptomics to study tissue of Ebola-infected macaques.
