I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, working with Dr. William H. Robinson to investigate how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and other latent herpesviruses contribute to chronic immune and neurological disease. I completed my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Harvard University in Dr. Maria Lehtinen’s lab, supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and the HHMI Gilliam Fellowship. Earlier, I earned my B.S. in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Kent State University, where I first became fascinated by the intersection of infection, immunity, and the brain.
