I graduated with a BS in Computer Science, BA in Biophysics, and BS in Applied Math and Statistics from Johns Hopkins University. At Hopkins, I was an undergraduate researcher with Doug Barrick and previously the-late James Taylor. I also worked in the Integrated Imaging Center as a cryo-EM research assistant under the supervision of Michael McCaffery. I spent a lot of my time at Hopkins as a Teaching Assistant for Introductory Physics (AS.171.107/108), Biophysical Chemistry (AS.250.372), and Protein Engineering & Biochemistry Lab (AS.250.253).
I was previously a process development intern at Shire Pharmaceuticals (now Takeda Pharmaceuticals) and a software development intern at Senscio Systems.
This year, I am a Graduate Teaching Asistant for BIOPHYS 242: Biological Macromolecules. When I'm not doing research, you can probably find me weightlifting, hiking, eating, or with friends!
