Biography

I am a PhD student in Biological Engineering at MIT. I am interested in leveraging single cell technologies and tissue engineering to advance women's health research.

I grew up in the Bay Area and obtained a BS in Bioengineering from Stanford University. There, I researched the initiation and progression of serous endometrial cancer using patient-derived endometrial organoids. In my free time, I enjoy early morning runs along the Charles, checking out new coffee shops, and playing with my cat Molly.
