Biography
I graduated from Kent State University in 2023 with a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology. During my undergraduate studies, I worked in a neuroendocrinology lab studying the effects of noradrenaline on the circuits that control ovulation in female mice.
I am currently working in Dr. Jordan Renna's lab, where I research visual neuroscience using various methods such as serial block-face scanning electron microscopy and neuronal tracing to visualize synaptic structures and reconstruct the neural circuitry of the retina.
