I am a bioengineering PhD Candidate at Stanford University and NIH F31 Predoctoral Fellow funded through the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). My research is centered on understanding human health and performance through interpreting the hidden language of the body using wearable sensors measuring physiology, behavior, and biomechanics. My thesis work, advised by Dr. Jamie Zeitzer in the Zeitzer Circadian Research Laboratory, explores the interplay between sleep, circadian rhythms, and the menstrual cycle, focusing on their influence on neuromuscular performance in women. My research and training has previously been funded through the NeuroTech Training Program and Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance.

Prior to Stanford, I obtained my Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering, with minors in mathematics and chemistry, at the University of Vermont in 2020. I earned by Master’s in Bioengineering from Stanford University in 2022. I am expecting to complete my PhD in 2026.

My previous research experience includes a research assistantship in the M-Sense Research Group, a translational wearable sensors lab, led by Dr. Ryan McGinnis, focusing on developing clinical tools for characterizing biomechanics and gait. I also completed a year-long co-op internship at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in the Bioengineering Systems and Technologies Group, where I worked on collaborative projects deepening my expertise in sensor fusion of physiological and biomechanical signals.
