Scholar Description

I obtained a BS in Biochemistry with a minor in Computer Science from the University of New Mexico. I plan to pursue a PhD in biomedical data science and computational genetics. During PREP, I am training in the Computational Biology and Evolution Lab in the Biology Department. Using All of Us human health and genotypic data, I am studying the genetic architecture of complex human traits with a focus on how physiological and morphological traits differ in their architecture. Outside of the lab, I enjoy doing yoga and listening to music!
