About

I’ve synthesized antibody-drug conjugates at Bristol Myers Squibb, studied causal language in biomedical papers, and lived across 7 countries before turning 21. Those experiences led me to UCSF, where I’m now a PhD student developing computational models and pipelines for Alzheimer’s disease and reproductive health, two fields where the biology is humbling, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Alongside my doctoral work, I’m pursuing an idea I can’t let go of: finding a way to reverse liver fibrosis. Not manage it. Reverse it. I earned my degree in Natural Sciences, with a concentration in Biochemistry, from Minerva University, while focusing much of my academic work on data science and statistics. That combination drew me naturally toward computational biology and problems that live between disciplines rather than fitting neatly within one. Beyond science, I’m the author of the poetry book Bloom of Grief and am currently writing my first novel. When I’m not writing, I’m usually singing karaoke or seeking out a coastline, lake, or river. I’m especially interested in ambitious problems at the intersection of health, biotechnology, machine learning, and education. If you’re working in
