I graduated from Boston University in May 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience. During my time in undergrad, I completed an honors thesis investigating how different spatial neuron types respond as rats explore an environment in the absence of visual stimuli, focusing on the postrhinal, retrosplenial, and medial entorhinal cortices.

I joined the Bennett Lab in August 2025 as a research technician. While my previous research focused on in vivo models, I was excited to transition to in vitro approaches investigating tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. My current research focuses on studying the effects of tau on human APOE neurons using 3D cell culture models, incorporating immunocytochemistry and live-cell imaging to assess tau aggregation and neurodegeneration. I also contribute to projects examining vascular structure and remodeling in the human Alzheimer’s brain.

In the future, I plan to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience and continue research focused on neurodegenerative disease.
