She/Her

Undergraduate Research Assistant; Psychology major in the College of Arts and Sciences at Boston University (2024–present)

I am an undergraduate student in the College of Arts and Sciences at Boston University, with an expected graduation date of May 2028. I began my post-secondary academic journey in the College of General Studies and transitioned into CAS, where I am pursuing a degree in Psychology with interests in neuroscience and development. I joined the Meyer Lab in September 2025 as an undergraduate research assistant, where I shadow graduate students and support projects examining the role of parvalbumin interneurons in fear and safety signaling across adolescence and adulthood.
In the lab, I am gaining experience with behavioral neuroscience research and learning core lab skills while contributing to ongoing studies on emotional regulation and anxiety-related vulnerability during development. Outside of the lab, I enjoy swimming, sewing, painting, and spending time with my friends.
