I'm a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University in the lab of Dr. William H. Robinson, where I study how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and other latent herpesviruses drive chronic immune and neurological disease. My work sits at the intersection of viral genomics, single-cell biology, and computational method development: I build tools that make latent infection visible in individual cells, then use them to ask which infections leave lasting damage, and in whom.

I'm supported by a Jane Coffin Childs Fellowship. I completed my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Harvard University in 2024, in Dr. Maria Lehtinen's lab at Boston Children's Hospital, 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.
