I’m a first-year at Brown studying computational biology and economics. I work on kidney disease at Yale and on drug patent policy at Brown’s School of Public Health. I also like to write, Currently reading: Once Upon a Prime: The Wondrous Connections Between Mathematics and Literature by Sarah B. Hart and take photos on my 11-year-old The Canon PowerShot ELPH 170 IS is 11 years and 0 days old.

Computational nephrology. Built the R and Python pipeline for Xenium spatial transcriptomics of FSGS kidney tissue, from QC to podocyte-level analysis.
Computational biology. R pipeline that clusters genes by protein turnover and expression in SILAC time-course data, with pathway enrichment. Code on GitHub.
Computational biochemistry. Python backend for MassCube and MassWiki, including probabilistic spectral matching for metabolite annotation. Code on GitHub.
Chief policy and financial officer. Led advocacy for NH’s financial education requirement, passed at the State House. Recognized by Governor Ayotte and the Princeton Prize.
Biomedical R&D intern. Western blots, mammalian cell culture, and iPSC-derived 3D neuronal models for an Alzheimer’s therapeutic at a Series C biotech.
Campaign intern, District 5. Built canvassing maps from demographic data that cut ignored doors by about 60%. Won primaries.
Policy analysis for healthcare and biotech pitches.
Research for Brown’s nonpartisan student think tank.
