I earned my MSc from the University of Toronto in 2024, researching the effects of gestational exposure to a maternal high-fat diet on offspring microglial aging. My current research interests explore the intersection of the microbiome and the immune system, with a specific focus on how microbial presence alters T-cell signaling thresholds and anergy. When I'm not at the bench, you can find me hiking outdoors, caring for my plants, or getting lost in a good mystery novel.
