I am a medical student at Rush Medical College in Chicago, IL. I am originally from the Washington, DC area. I received a BS in Neuroscience from Bucknell University and was a post-bacc researcher at the NIH for 3 years. I have a younger brother who studies marine biology and is a professional photographer on the side. I have a savannah cat named Cleo (after the Egyptian queen).

I am a published author with six manuscripts in top tier peer-reviewed journals, a book chapter in preparation and have lectured at a large variety of invited speaking events. I have taken many many science, math and psychology courses. I love to learn and love to help other people learn both basic and complicated topics. If you are struggling, I've been there, and am here to help!

I am currently a graduate student at Rush University earning my M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology with an expected graduation date of April 2023. My undergraduate degree is a B.S. in Speech and Hearing Science from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign with a minor in psychology and I graduated from here in May of 2021.
