BIO

I'm a first year CMB student, with a specific interest in immunology and infectious diseases. Interaction between pathogens and their hosts, and how factors relating to each drive disease, are what particularly interests me. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology from Virginia Tech in 2022, and my Master's of Public Health with a concentration in infectious disease, also from Virginia Tech, in 2024. During my Master's studies, I took on several projects to approach rising antimicrobial resistance, such as using machine learning tools to characterize risk factors for these infections.
