Research

I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a BSc in Integrated Sciences, focusing on Genetics & Immunology, in 2023. From my early co-op experience in the industry setting developing antibody therapeutics for cancer and my work with infectious diseases at the BC Center for Disease Control, I have a deep interest in developing antibody therapeutics for infectious diseases. By participating in the PROGENITER project, I can further delve into this passion at the Pantophlet Lab.

Other Interests

In my free time, you can find me trying various hobbies to satisfy my curiosity. I am currently immersed in coloring (extremely therapeutic!). I love playing the ukulele, listening to Noah Kahan, watching crime documentaries and horror movies, trying out TikTok recipes, dragon boating, and rotting with my cat, Sir Dewey Decimal System!
