I graduated from UCSD with a B.S. in Microbiology in 2022. I began my laboratory career at Garage Brew Co. as a Lab Assistant, where many of my responsibilities centered around Quality Assurance, such as managing yeast health, fermentation tracking, and monitoring various checkpoints in the brewing process. Later in my academic career, I became an undergraduate Research Assistant at the Dutton Lab, where I contributed to projects investigating microbial communities by utilizing cheese as a model system.

I am passionate about research regarding the human gut microbiome and its involvement in our immune system. I worked as a Research Associate in the Gibbons Lab from 2022-2024. I conducted fecal ex vivo experiments and developed computational projects looking at the ecology of the gut and its impacts on human health.

In my free time, I enjoy roller skating around the city, watching cartoons, playing video games, and exploring National Parks.
