Bio:

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania in the Department of Bioengineering. I graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry from Emory University. I am originally from Poughkeepsie, NY, and when I’m not doing research, I like to play soccer, watch movies and TV, and explore the rich array of food and drinks that Philly has to offer.

Research interests:

I am interested in improving MR spectroscopy methodologies and using MRS/MRSI to investigate metabolic pathways and deficiencies in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
