Research

I earned my BSc at SFU and my MSc in Immunology at the University of Toronto, where I developed strengths in cell culture, immunohistochemistry, and in vivo experimentation. In the Pantophlet Lab, I support the preclinical arm of our antibody discovery and immunogen evaluation pipeline, contributing to immunization studies, tissue processing, and serological assays linked to monoclonal antibody isolation and characterization. My goal is to help bridge in vivo readouts with downstream molecular and immunological analyses to inform immunogen design and antibody selection.

Other Interests

When I am not in the lab, I enjoy travelling, baking, and reading. I have been fortunate to visit Germany, Greece, Austria, France, and the UK, and I hope to travel to Japan and Thailand with my fiancé in the future.
