Biography<\/h3>\n

I graduated from Boston College with a B.S. in Biochemistry in 2010. During my time as an undergraduate and continuing afterwards, I was a member of the laboratory of Prof. Tomer Avidor-Reiss in the Dept. of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School (2008-2012) and the University of Toledo (2012-2013), where I used Drosophila<\/i> spermatogenesis as a model to study a unique ciliary gatekeeping mechanism associated with human disease. Following this, I entered the UNC MD-PhD program and completed my first two years of medical school. In 2015, I transitioned to the Neurobiology Curriculum and joined the lab of Prof. Garret Stuber in the Dept. of Psychiatry and UNC Neuroscience Center.<\/p>\n

Research<\/h3>\n

In the Stuber lab, my work will be primarily involved in the hypothalamus, a major neurosecretory control center whose ancient and diverse neuronal populations integrate essential physiological cues with behavior and experience. In this context, I hope to explore questions regarding neuronal identity by developing high-throughput molecular strategies to define distinct hypothalamic populations and dissect their circuit-level contributions to innate, conserved neurobiological processes.<\/p>\n
