I am an undergraduate at UC Santa Cruz majoring in neuroscience and I’m originally from the Chicago area. I am interested in neuroscience because of the complexity in which genetics and environmental influences interact to shape biological systems, neural development, and behavior. This interest also led me to the Colquitt Lab! My goal is to continue my education and pursue a PhD in Neuroscience. Outside of the lab, I love playing guitar, hiking, and going to the beach!
