In May 2025, I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with dual Bachelors degrees in Biochemistry and Psychology and a focus in Neuroscience. While completing my studies, I worked as a research assistant in the Lacreuse Lab with a primary focus on investigating sex differences in Alzheimer's disease utilizing RNAscope. Currently, as a Lab Technician in the Kieft lab, I have been growing as a scientist and building my experimental skills in basic laboratory techniques.
