**Thesis advisor:** Susan Dymecki  
**Rotations:** Susan Dymecki, Brad Lowell  
**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!
