Brief Biographical Sketch:
I received my B.A. in Anthropology and Chemistry from Bryn Mawr College. Immediately following graduation, I spent time doing traditional medicine research and living with lizards and spider crickets in Swaziland. I then returned to the States to accept a fellowship at the National Institutes of Health and study cancer immunology. Being predictably unpredictable, I moved to Japan to do HIV research and eat oodles of noodles. During my time in Japan, I became really excited about reproductive immunology. Now, I am interested in understanding how maternal infection during pregnancy alters fetal brain development through placental dysfunction. I also devote a significant amount of time mentoring, teaching science to kids, and volunteering with STEM programs to encourage youth from underserved communities to pursue science.
