At the University of Texas at Austin, I’m majoring in biochemistry with a minor in creative writing. I’ve researched in an interactome mapping lab, where I studied CMTR1, a gene involved in the methylation of mRNA transcripts.
I joined the McManus lab for the summer of 2022 as a part of UCSF’s Summer Research Training Program (SRTP) for undergrads with funding from the Amgen Scholars program. While here, I’m working under the mentorship of Stefan Oberlin on a project about the role of miRNAs in causing or predicting drug tolerant persistence in cancer cells.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family or reading.
