I'm a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University in the lab of Dr. William H. Robinson, where I study how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and other latent herpesviruses drive chronic disease, including multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and long COVID. I combine viral genomics, single-cell biology, and computational methods to build tools that make latent infection visible in individual cells. Then I use them to ask which infections leave lasting damage, and in whom.

I'm supported by a Jane Coffin Childs Fellowship. I completed my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Harvard University in 2024, in Dr. Maria Lehtinen's lab at Boston Children's Hospital, supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and the HHMI Gilliam Fellowship. Earlier, I earned my B.S. in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Kent State University.
