I am currently a rising fourth-year student in the Brenhouse Lab, where I study how early-life stress shapes neuroendocrine development across sensitive periods. My work focuses on understanding how stress becomes biologically embedded during development and how these changes influence brain–hormone interactions over time.
Alongside this, I’m motivated by the possibility of translating basic neuroscience into impact. A key goal of my work is to identify biological targets that could inform future therapeutic approaches for brain disorders, bridging developmental neuroscience with the broader landscape of drug discovery.
