Syracuse, New York, United States
I’m a Junior in the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in Biology. As a student in the Renée Crown University Honors Program and the Biology Distinction Program, I participate in research concerning women’s health and fertility, and I hope to become more involved in the greater Syracuse community and on campus through involvement in relevant organizations and volunteer work. Following my undergraduate education, I plan to apply to medical school, and ultimately, become a physician. I have a passion for learning, and I truly enjoy being around people from all walks of life and developing meaningful connections. I am eager to apply both my knowledge and empathy to improve the lives of others.

Work as an Undergraduate Research Assistant in the Pepling Lab under Dr. Melissa Pepling. Our research investigates the regulation of primordial follicle formation and the establishment of the ovarian reserve in the mouse ovary. I employ techniques such as immunocytochemistry, confocal microscopy, and organ culture to analyze the transition from germ cell cysts to individual follicles. Under the mentorship of Jessica Wellman, a Biology Graduate Student in the Pepling Lab, we are investigating how a maternal high-fat diet impacts offspring fertility. Our work evaluates the potential of Semaglutide to restore metabolic balance and prevent oocyte loss through GTT/ITT profiling and automated follicle quantification. Through this research, we aim to identify therapeutic interventions that can secure maternal and offspring reproductive health against diet-induced metabolic stress.
