Hello and welcome to my portfolio page!

Education

I will be graduating from the University of St. Thomas in June 2024 with a BS in Neuroscience and a BA in Digital Media Design

While pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience, I took a variety of courses geared towards behavior and neuroendocrinology. These courses include: animal behavior, neurobiology of social behavior, neurobiology of aggression, health psychology, and neuroecology.

I have notable experience in research using techniques such as the Western Blot Technique, pharmacological manipulations of neuropeptides, spiker box recordings, and behavioral testing such as elevated plus maze.

More information regarding this research can be found under the 'research' tab.

Experience

I have worked as a graphic design intern at Lessiter Media as well as a Production assistant at my university's multimedia studio.
