I am a PhD student in the Metabolic Biology program. I have earned my bachelor’s degree at Dominican University of California and researched Type 2 Diabetes at the Buck Institute before joining the Stahl lab. Currently, I am researching how macrophages infiltrate white adipocytes resulting in increased inflammation and the development of insulin resistance.

During my free time, I like to pole dance, go bouldering, draw, and play video games!
