Biography

I work in the Psychiatry and Early Neurobiological Development Laboratory with Dr. Hanna Stevens in the UIHC Department of Psychiatry.  We study preeclampsia, a medical condition in pregnancy that is characterized by high blood pressure and proteinuria, and how it affects the cortical development and cortical dependent behavior of offspring.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, dancing, and hanging out with my friends.  After graduation, I would love to further explore my interest in public health and anthropology by pursuing and MPH or MD.
