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 are fairly broad at the moment, but I generally gravitate toward topics in computational biology, bioinformatics, microbiology, and genetics/genomics. Outside of research, I enjoy learning about entomology and medical history, among other things. I also like to draw, crochet, knit, hike, and cook.
