I'm a PhD Candidate in Cellular and Molecular Medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. I work in Paul Worley's lab in the Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience. My research focuses on how activity-triggered immediate early gene transcription impacts neuronal processes that relate broadly to Alzheimer's Disease, Autism and Schizophrenia.
