I am a recent graduate from
Amherst College (2024), where I studied biology and computer science. As an undergrad, I worked in the
Blanchard lab at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst, where, for my honors thesis in biology, I analyzed the metagenomic data of soil-dwelling bacterial decomposers from Harvard Forest to determine how they have changed in response to long-term warming.
My research interests include topics in bioinformatics, computational biology, omics, and microbiology. Outside of research, I enjoy learning about entomology and medical history, among other things. I also like fiber art (knitting/crochet), cooking, and being outdoors.
