I am a PhD candidate at Harvard University in chemical biology. My research focuses on the synthesis and biological evaluation of ribosome-targeting antibiotics. More specifically, I am interested in creating analogs of chloramphenicol with increased on-target engagement and reduced toxicity. Additionally, I am very involved in Harvard Graduate Students Union (HGSU-UAW) and I volunteer with Harvard Women+ in Chemistry. In my free time, I love taking walks and hanging out with my cat
