About Me

I recently graduated from Indiana University with an Honors degree in Neuroscience and a minor in Psychology. Over the past three years, I’ve dedicated nearly 1,900 hours to molecular, behavioral, and translational research. I've presented posters, contributed to manuscripts, and gained hands-on experience in both preclinical and clinical studies.

​

Before IU, I worked in behavioral health, an experience that inspired me to pursue higher education and work toward improving treatment options. My next step is pursuing a Ph.D. in Addiction Neuroscience with the goal of becoming a medical scientist focused on substance use disorders. 

​

I’m working to integrate research, clinical insight, and data-driven care to improve long-term recovery outcomes.​

​​

Ultimately, I hope to raise the standard of care for addiction by integrating clinical practice, patient support, and translational science to improve the quality and efficacy of addiction treatment.  ​

​I approach science with curiosity and rigor, and I refuse to forget that every data point is a human life.

​

Coming to neuroscience later in life has given me a broader perspective and an unusual lens for thinking critically about research questions - a perspective I hope will contribute to the field in meaningful ways.​​
