As a Stony Brook student I aim to develop the academic and interpersonal skills to allow me to thrive in a research and postgraduate environment. I am fascinated in what goes into aging and regeneration and hope to be able to learn more about the genetic components to these complex phenomena through Killifish and their diapause phase.

Outside of academics I enjoy nature (hiking in the adirondacks especially), working out, and rolling with the Stony Brook BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) club.
