I am a freshman studying Biological Sciences in CAS with a concentration in Microbiology. I joined the Helmann lab in Spring 2025 where I am assisting in investigating copper ion uptake and the role of carbonic anhydrase in Bacillus subtilis. In the future, I plan to pursue a PhD with the hope of working in either academia or industry. When I have free time, I love doing my nails, watching TV, and drawing. I look forward to growing as a scientist in my time at the Helmann lab!
