Oakland, California, United States
I’m a driven and multidisciplinary researcher with experience in biomedical science, public health, and community advocacy. At Haverford College, I investigated iron-repair mechanisms by designing pyrazine analogs and evaluating their ability to stabilize di-iron model complexes, contributing to research on the YtfE protein. My time at UCSF and Kaiser Permanente allowed me to support large cohort studies and public health initiatives, strengthening my skills in data management, collaboration, and health equity outreach. I’ve also engaged deeply in community-focused roles—from leading pre-orientation programming for first-generation, low-income students to advocating for tobacco policy reform with Roots Community Health. Through these various experiences and mentors, I’ve built a strong foundation in scientific research, community advocacy, and leadership with a strong interests in research and health equity. I’m committed to uplifting underserved communities through increasing access to science and higher education.
Identified and synthesized pyrazine-based analogs with the potential to stabilize the model di-iron complex and evaluate di-iron model's ability to mimic YtfE protein function.
