Personal Facts/Hobbies: After spending four years in New Orleans, I was so excited to move back to Boston and be close to my family. I am currently in the second year of the MAMS program, where I am completing my laboratory research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital with a focus in neuroendocrinology. I love reality TV, reading, pilates, and spending time with my friends!

I was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome in 2018. I no longer have vocal tics and my motor movements are mostly under control with treatment, but my journey with multiple experimental therapeutics and the vast unknown of this disorder has led me to pursue a career in medicine. Reach out if you have any questions about anything!
