she/her
I am a rising senior at Brown University studying Health and Human Biology on the pre-medical track. At The Mathis Lab, I contribute to research by assisting with manuscript revisions, responding to peer-review feedback, and developing patient-centered educational content that translates research findings into accessible information for broader audiences.
I am passionate about adolescent mental health, public health, and improving access to evidence-based healthcare. After graduation, I hope to pursue a career as a pediatrician-scientist, integrating clinical care, research, and advocacy to improve the health and well-being of children and adolescents.
Outside of the lab, I enjoy hiking, traveling, watching documentaries, and spending time with friends and family.
