I am from the Pocono Mountains in Northeastern Pennsylvania. In 2019, I earned my B.S. in Molecular Biology from the University of Pittsburgh. I came to Pittsburgh for my undergraduate degree and I have hung around ever since.

I am a proud plant and dog mom (to my girl, Peyton!). I am a coffee enthusiast, a Rico the Porcupine stan, and a novice crocheter. I love hiking, water skiing, and boating with family during the summer.

I am very grateful that I get to pursue my PhD in the Woolford Lab!
