Presented my summer fellowship project with the Hatfull Lab at Pitt Med’s 30th BGSA Symposium: “Dissecting the Role of Msmeg_5894 in Phage Brilliant Infection of Mycobacterium smegmatis.” Honored to receive an award for outstanding poster presentation!

Officially welcomed into @pitt-pmi.bsky.social

Today marks the beginning of my PhD journey in Microbiology & Immunology at @pitt-pmi.bsky.social. I’m looking forward to starting lab rotations, learning new techniques, and returning to the classroom this fall. Excited for what’s ahead!

So thankful for the opportunity to spend my summer with the Hatfull Lab as a research fellow before starting my PhD this fall. I studied the role of gene Msmeg_5894 in phage infection of Mycobacterium smegmatis. Big thanks to the Hatfull crew for an amazing summer!

Excited to share that I’ve graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S. in Microbiology, a minor in Chemistry, and a certificate in Conceptual Foundations of Medicine.
This fall, I’ll begin my PhD in Microbiology & Immunology through @pitt-pmi.bsky.social, H2P 🎓

Thank you to my friends in the Van Tyne Lab for an incredible year of research, learning, and mentorship. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to spend my senior year with!

I’m excited to share that I’ve been accepted into the Microbiology & Immunology PhD program at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and have officially accepted the offer. Pittsburgh, I’m here to stay—H2P! @pitt-pmi.bsky.social

Wrapped up my first semester in the Van Tyne Lab! Grateful for the incredible support from my mentors and peers. Excited to return to the lab bench in the new year! 👩🏼‍🔬
