Research Assistant

I graduated with a B.A. in Neuroscience and a minor in Anthropology from Skidmore College in May 2023. My undergraduate research focused on Microbiology and Music Cognition, and I wrote a thesis on the age-dependent effects of hypergravity on circadian rhythm and lifespan in fruit flies.
Currently, in the Napadow Lab, I am assisting with an ongoing migraine intervention study by collecting and analyzing MRI data, as well as autonomic nervous system function and quantitative sensory testing data. I’m excited to continue exploring the world of clinical research, particularly clinical neuroimaging, and hope to one day apply these skills to advance animal health and medicine.
When I’m not in the lab, you can find me working with animals, experimenting (trying not to burn food) in the kitchen, or with my ever-growing collection of houseplants.
