Sinclair Lab, Paul F. Glenn Labs for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical SchoolResearch focus: developing a library of small-molecule NAD+ precursors to combat the adverse conditions of aging and mimic the effects of exercise, particularly in aged skeletal muscle.

Zavacki Lab, Division of EndocrinologyResponsibilities pertain to designing and performing experiments investigatingthyroid hormone action in muscle regeneration and fibrosis and supporting other endocrine faculty research.

Landa Lab, Division of EndocrinologyInvestigating the pathogenesis and the biology of thyroid cancers.

Lynch Lab, Division of EndocrinologyInvestigating the immunometabolic and epigenetic effects of obesity on innate immune surveillance in cancer.

Harris Lab, Dept. of Orthopaedic ResearchConducted an independent research project with thesis titled “Zebrafish as a vertebrate model to understand the genetic and metabolic regulation of aging”. I also contributed to ongoing research regarding the characterization of a novel zebrafish model and the application of preventative aging mechanisms.*Thesis received Honors designation from the Simmons College Biology Department.

Instructed both private and group ski lessons, primarily for children ages 2-12 in the children's program, and participated in staff training and development.

Whited Lab, Dept. of Orthopaedic SurgeryMaintained animal health and housing records, performed routine husbandry for larval and adult axolotl salamanders, assisted with breeding, and determined and ameliorated optimum environmental conditions.
