Brief Biography
I am from New Jersey and went to Duke University. Senior year I examined MAPK pathway changes in T cells. Later I worked as a Research Technician at Sloan Kettering for clinical cell therapy. At Cornell I’ve participated in the VIP program twice and am completing a second distribution project. My research interests include immunology and cancer biology, and outside lab I enjoy football and music.
