I received a B.A. in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University (2013) and a PhD in Developmental and Regenerative Biology at Harvard Medical School (2020). My current research focuses on understanding the developmental origins of disease. Specifically, I interrogate the impacts of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) on adult cardiovascular and cardiometabolic health outcomes using human and zebrafish cohort studies. I also investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying ethanol's teratogenicity, including how it contributes to the development of congenital heart defects.
