Biography
Jointly mentored by Drs. Karla Kaun and Erica Larschan and current T32 ICoN trainee (https://carney.brown.edu/education-training/graduate/icon-interdisciplinary-training-computational-cognitive-and-systems), my research pairs the power of Drosophila neurobiology with high-resolution spatial transcriptomics to study the molecular and circuit mechanisms of memory, reward, and addiction.
In my spare time, you can find me wandering a coastline, seeking out new coffee shops or cuddling my two cats, Carter & Quincy.
