Research

I joined the Pantophlet Lab as a post-graduate volunteer intern after completing my BSc in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at SFU. Motivated by a strong interest in virology and immunology, I support day-to-day lab operations by preparing buffers and microbial media, as well as maintaining the cleanliness and organization of lab spaces. Through this experience, I hope to build practical skills and deepen my understanding of experimental research in preparation for graduate studies.

Other Interests

I enjoy spending time with friends and family, but I also love curling up with a good book or documentary series. Most days you’ll find me at home with my dog Luna, a Papillon. When I’m feeling adventurous, I like discovering new foods and exploring new places around BC.
