I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2024 with a B.S. in neuroscience and minors in Chemistry and Entrepreneurship. During my time at UNC, I completed an honors thesis investigating the impacts of pharmacologically targeting neuroinflammation on perceived stress among adults facing chronic stress due to long-term unemployment. Ultimately, I hope to earn a Ph.D. in social-affective neuroscience and investigate how our mental and physical health are impacted by the world around us. In my free time I enjoy yoga, running, and exploring new coffee shops!
