About Me

I’m a third-year MSTP (MD-PhD) student at Stanford University, in the first year of my PhD in Immunology. I work with Prof. Sean Bendall on healthy human lymph node and bone marrow biology using spatial proteomics (MIBI-TOF).

Past Work

From 2018-2022, I was a volunteer/staff research associate in the Butte laboratory, working on T cell biology and clinical immunology. I graduated with my BS from UCLA in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics in December of 2020. Quite a mouthful, I know. If you want some specifics, they’re listed in my CV here.

I spent my time at UCLA performing both basic science and computational immunology research. I created a list of candidate immmunodeficiency genes which is now used in the rare immune disease clinic at UCLA and at other inborn error of immunity clinics worldwide. I also studied Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) using high-throughput proteomics and genomics..

Some other things I care about, in no particular order, are: mentorship to underserved populations (especially in STEM), poetry, reproducibility in science, photography, reading, scrolling endlessly through Wikipedia, and (failing at) the harmonica.
