Undergrad Institution: Carleton College

Hometown: Kalamazoo, MI

Other Places I have lived: Northfield, MN; Boston, MA

What I do for fun: Playing cards, trying new restaurants, and taking scenic walks.

What I like best about Boston: The people, the walkability, and the food scene! The science community here is unmatched.

If you're still collecting research interests, I'm interested in host-pathogen interactions, virology-inspired approaches to cancer therapy (e.g. cancer vaccines and oncolytic viruses), and autoimmunity. Also love when these areas overlap with some funky RNA biology (circRNAs, lncRNAs, chimeric RNAs, etc)!
