I joined the Wythe lab in the spring of 2025 as a second-year student at the University of Virginia, where I am pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry and a B.A. in Computer Science. I am currently on the pre-med track, intending to specialize in pediatrics. My coursework in biology and related labs piqued my interest in the tools and interdisciplinary methods used in biological research, influencing me to join the Wythe lab. Working at this lab has helped me expand my knowledge of various concepts and equipment used in the field of cell biology. I hope to continue my exploration of the scientific fields and gain valuable firsthand experience through helping with the lab’s research. Outside of academics, I enjoy collecting stickers, figurines, and blind boxes.
