Brief Biographical Sketch:

I grew up in Michigan and went to school at Michigan State University. I graduated with a B.S. in Neuroscience in 2016. After graduation I moved to Baltimore, Maryland to work as a postbac. at the National Institute on Drug Abuse. While there, I worked full time in a neuroscience lab studying how Dopamine neurons in the brain help rats learn and make decisions. In the summer of 2018 I joined the MD/PhD program at Yale. I am currently in my second year of medical school and will start my PhD in the fall of 2019.
