For me, home is: Beaver Dam
Undergraduate degree(s): BS Psychology, Neurobiology
Research experience before PiN: I worked in a retinal electrophysiology lab at UW-Madison under the direction of Dr. Raunak Sinha. My project explored ultrastructural synaptic variation in the primate retina.
Current research interests: Interested in pairing neuronal structure with function. I'm ultimately interested in cell and circuit-level exploration on perception and underlying neurobiological mechanisms.
Interests outside lab: I enjoy running, rock-climbing, and reading. Always love to hear a good book recommendation!
