Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a 2nd-year Phd student in the lab of Akiko Iwasaki. I study how to better our immune system's response to viral infection and cancer. In my free time, I love to cook, listen to music, and spend time with friends exploring New Haven and New York City. I hope to get others as excited about immunology as I am!
