Overview


Enthusiastic, determined, and hard-working. I am a PhD candidate in pharmacology and cancer biology and affiliated with the cellular and molecular biology (CMB) umbrella program at Duke University School of Medicine. My thesis work is titled "Identifying novel downstream targets of dysregulated Hippo signaling in fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma". 


Outside of the lab I participate in mentorship, outreach, and science communication alongside private organizations and personal social media marketing.
