I am a PhD candidate (expected Fall 2025) studying pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Illinois Chicago. My work consists of drug discovery efforts to address chronic inflammatory disease and treatment-resistant cancer. I have a background in both medicinal chemistry and biochemistry, as well as experience with peptide and small molecule synthesis, high-throughput screening, drug design, and assay optimization. Currently I am seeking a full-time position in the pharmaceutical industry and hope to further develop my scientific skillset.
