About Me

I am a senior at Williams College (class of 2023), and I am majoring in Biology and German. I had the pleasure to work with TJ in the summer of 2020 after my freshman year, where he supervised me doing computational research on the GTEx dataset of gene expression in variable tissues. I kept on doing computational biology research at Williams throughout my second year until I got an opportunity to work in Sabatini's lab in Whitehead Institute studying protein interactions during the summer of 2021. This year, I plan to do my thesis in the biochemistry lab at Williams, where I want to investigate ASAP1 protein's role in ovarian cancer, and I hope to continue on doing cancer-related research after finishing my undergraduate degree.
