Research topic: 

Background: I was born in Cudahy, Wisconsin; however, shortly after I was born my family moved to Cedarburg, Wisconsin where I was raised. I attended Coe College for my undergraduate education where I graduated in May of 2025 with a Bachelor of Art degree in Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience as well as a minor in chemistry. My interest in cancer research came from my experiences working as a volunteer EMT, shadowing a surgical oncologist, and conducting a year-long independent research project during my senior year of undergraduate studies. These experiences have instilled in me an insatiable desire to learn all I can about cancer, the pathways that drive its progression, and ways in which those pathways can be altered.

My goals are to become a physician scientist and to use my education and training to continue the fight against cancer and the devastating impacts it can have not just on the patient, but on everyone the world over. In my free time I like to exercise, ride my bike, and bake.
