She is a participant in the BRAIN program, which has allowed her to engage in research in neurology where she quantifies degeneration due to Alzheimer’s disease in mice. She is interested in research on neurodegenerative diseases and childhood development. Her interest in neurology and pediatrics stems from her desire to aid in better maternal care, enthusiasm to help children grow, and desire to help families.
