I have obtained my bachelor’s degree from Simon Fraser University where I majored in Biomedical Physiology, minored in Molecular Biology & Biochemistry, and completed a certificate in Chinese studies. Over the course of my undergraduate studies, I found my passion for immunology which led me to the Turvey Lab. I am currently pursuing a direct PhD in Experimental Medicine focused on understanding new immune system disorders in children.
This research involves both working with patients, doctors, and global collaborators on tracking a disease clinically, as well as wet lab work where I conduct experiments to further understand how these diseases occur. My research projects also allow us to model these diseases in the lab and test new treatment options which could be of direct benefits to patients. In my free time, I love reading, baking, trying new foods, exploring coffee shops and finding unique places in the world through travel!
