About
I am a neuroscience PhD student at UCLA in the lab of Daniel Geschwind. My project focuses on nervous system regeneration. Specifically, I use genomics and molecular biology to understand the genetic regulatory mechanisms that underly regeneration. I am very interested in pursuing a career in biotech entrepreneurship and investing after completing my PhD. Outside of the lab, I help run a neuroscience communications and outreach nonprofit organization called Knowing Neurons where I serve as CEO. Additionally, I oversee the regional LA chapter of an entrepreneurship education nonprofit organization called Nucleate. In my free time I enjoy reading, playing basketball, and practicing my French.
