Excited to be on the @bsky.app - follow along my journey as a budding mucosal immunologist.

I am currently wrapping up my PhD at the University of Victoria under the supervision of Dr. Lisa Reynolds.
Happy international women’s day! I am so grateful to all of the incredible women that continue to mentor and inspire me.

My day was packed with thesis edits, kindergym and trip to the pool with my toddler. Being a woman in science is a juggling act that brings me so much joy!
