In her undergraduate, she studied systems biology at Virginia Tech and worked with Dr. Daniela Cimini for her senior thesis to examine the role of centromere stiffness in mitosis. After graduating, she joined the Vaccine Research Center at the NIH, supervised by Drs. Daniel Douek and Chaim Schramm, where she contributed to single-cell studies characterizing the innate and adaptive immune responses to vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in humans and non-human primates.
