About Me

I am a student in the MD/PhD program at Emory University. My research is focused on investigating the basic mechanisms underlying epilepsy and spreading depolarizations using state of the art microscopy and electrophysiology.  In parallel to my dissertation work, my clinical research interests center on advancing neurosurgical treatments for movement disorders and epilepsy. 

I completed my undergraduate degree at Haverford College, earning a B. S. in Biology, with a thesis in computational chemistry. Following graduation, I worked at the MGH studying Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis using molecular and in vivo optical methods.
