Hi everyone! I am a Ph.D. student in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) program at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Before attending Johns Hopkins, I attended Marist College, where I attained my bachelor's degree in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry. At Marist, I worked with Dr. Paula Checchi to investigate the underlying regulatory mechanisms that govern chromatin dynamics to prevent the inheritance of chromosome mutations, utilizing Caenorhabditis elegans as a model. I am very excited to begin my graduate work in the Kavran lab!
