A Northeastern University graduate with a BS in Biology and minor in Computer Science. Currently a data scientist at The TIE, previously a research associate for both ACTRU of the Department of Neurology and the Kitchen Lab of the Cardiovascular Research Center, at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Interested in gene editing, bioinformatics, and design, with a background in character animation. I've completed two six month coops at Editas Medicine and bluebird bio studying DNA damage repair and in-vivo gene editing strategies, respectively.
Outside of academics, I play a lot of cello. I've performed chamber music at New England Conservatory, was the principal cellist of Northeastern's Symphony Orchestra, and performed at multiple retirement homes, hospitals, and private events.
