Majoring in Neuroscience and pursuing a certificate in Global Public Health

Research Interests: I am passionate about working in research observing the effects of cannabinoids (THC and CBD) on anxiety and other inflammatory responses. I am interested in the medical, long-term effects of cannabis use and how we can use cannabis to benefit members of the community.

Responsibilities: Undergraduate Research Assistant for the PRISM and OASIS studies assigned to screen potential participants, determine eligibility, and schedule appointments. I have direct contact with research participants throughout the experimental process.

About Me: I am from the East Bay Area and moved to Boulder for college. I am graduating in May and looking forward to pursuing a patient-focused career postgrad. In my free time, I enjoy trying new recipes, hiking around Boulder with my friends, and painting.
