I’m a first-year PhD candidate in Damien D’Amours’ lab, where I study how the Smc5/6 complex repairs and prevents DNA damage. My hidden talent is solving Sudoku ridiculously fast, so if you ever get stuck, I’m your personal Sudoku rescue team.

I am a First-year Master’s Student in the lab of Dr. Blair Gage. You know how running experiments and assays can be a bit of a drag? Well, I’ve got a secret weapon to keep me entertained! I can’t resist listening to something while I work. Whether it’s some new age R&B, tearjerking ballads, or an obscure podcast about the overhyped nature of Silicon Valley startups, I’m all ears. So, if you ever catch me in the halls, don’t hesitate to suggest a song/podcast that you think everyone should be listening to. You never know, it might just be the missing piece that makes my experiment a success!
