Currently I am a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Aleks Stanic in the department of Obstetrics & Gynecology. My research focuses on the immune factors that contribute to infertility and inflammation in polycystic ovarian syndrome. I am using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics as well as biochemical techniques.
In summer 2024 I attended the Cold Spring Harbor Statistical Analysis of Genome-Scale Data workshop to better analyze our transcriptomic data sets.
Stay tuned for updates as this work continues!

In 2022, I worked as a Research and Development Intern at Proov, maker of at-home fertility tests. I have since collaborated on several studies, including validation of a complete at-home hormone testing kit. I have also ghostwritten dozens of blogs now published on the Proov Website, and continue to contribute to research on hormone tracking for both fertility and contraceptive purposes.

I am also certified as a fertility awareness educator by the Fertility Education and Medical Management (FEMM) Foundation. I have worked with individuals and couples to help them use a highly effective fertility awareness-based method to avoid pregnancy.
I have also presented my hormone tracking work with Proov at several conferences focused on Natural Family Planning/Fertility Awareness-Based Methods.
I founded and operate Four Lakes Fertility, LLC.
