I am a recent Ph.D. graduate from the Department of Human Genetics and Genomics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
My research centers around the complexity and heterogeneity of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, with a particular emphasis on understanding the underlying genetics. With bioinformatic and statistical approaches, I delve into large-scale genomic, neuropathologic, and clinical data to gain deeper insights into these complex disorders. Recently, we analyzed brain autopsy data from over 10,000 participants, identifying novel genetic factors that are linked to specific types of damage.

Projects
As Director of Strategy and co-founder of Nucleate FL, I helped to build a vibrant biotech community in Miami by facilitating strategic collaborations, organizing and hosting dynamic networking events, and empowering trainee-driven innovation.
Since 2020, I have served as a volunteer community educator with the Alzheimer's Association SE Florida Chapter. Mainly, I present educational talks to local communities affected by dementia including patients, caregivers, family, and medical students.
