I graduated in May of 2026 from St. Olaf College, where I worked in the Lee Lab studying the parasitoid fly Ormia ochracea. I joined the Hamilton Hart Lab in the summer of 2025 as an undergraduate summer student and worked on a project related to aging and CD8+ T cell populations. Since then, I have returned to the lab as a researcher 1 and lab manager, and have continued my research in aging. When not in the lab, you can find me hanging out with my sweet dogs (Junie and Zoe), making jewelry, and running!
