I’m a first-year Neurosciences PhD student at Stanford University and a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellow (DOE CSGF). I’m broadly interested in understanding the neural basis of cognition and how it is implicated in individuals with psychiatric disorders.

I received my B.A. in Cognitive Science and Mathematics, with minors in Neuroscience and Computer Science, from Occidental College in 2025. While in undergrad, I worked with Dan Snowden Ifft, John Kolassa, Carmel Levitan and Aysha Motala, Justin Li, and Satish Nair on projects spanning physics, statistics, cognitive science, computer science, and computational neuroscience.

I’m also passionate about helping support children living with a parent’s cancer - through conducting academic research and fostering personal connections. I recently joined the board of Milton Marks Family Camp (MMFC) to study psychosocial coping in families affected by brain cancer and I youth counsel at both MMFC and Camp Kaleidoscope!

Outside of research, I enjoy teaching, coffee, knitting, and spending time outdoors. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat - I’m always happy to help!
