Brief Biographical Sketch:
I was first captured by world inside cells watching chloroplasts move around inside a cell under a microscope in my high school biology class. I went to Harvard for my undergraduate degree, and continued my studies in cell biology in the Reck-Peterson Lab at Harvard Med School. I graduated with a BA in 2012, and moved down the street to the MIT Biology department in search of a PhD. I'm currently a graduate student in the Martin lab, where we study fruit fly development.
