Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hello everyone! I am a proud Southern Californian who attended UCLA and studied Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology with a minor in Biomedical Research. Now, I am finishing my PhD in Biology at Stanford. In the lab I study an evolutionary phenomenon called overdominance using baker's yeast. At seminars and conferences, I love to sketch the speaker and their science. These sketches have been retweeted by Nobel Laureates like Frances Arnold and famous science writers like Carl Zimmer.

Outside of the lab, I love hiking, running, and eating (mostly eating to be honest). You can also find me listening to an audiobook and doodling or handlettering.
