About

At the moment, I’m working on my PhD at Virginia Tech learning how to design nanoparticle-based vaccines. I’m interested in the genetic diversity of our immune systems, and how to build vaccines that work better for everybody. When I’m not in the lab, you can find me doing portrait photography, or designing event flyers for a local community center.

I volunteer with the Virginia Scientist-Community Interface and ISNBS.

My words have shown up in the Durham Beat, Transpositions, and Scientific American. My photography has shown up in Teen Vogue, Triangle Guide, them.us and The Equation.

My favorite protease is Cathepsin S.
