• PhD Candidate, University of Colorado School of Medicine

My PhD thesis work integrates bioinformatics/multi-omic data approaches with tools like CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing to study chemotherapy resistance mechanisms in cancer. 

In my work as a Venture Fellow at CU Innovations, I oversee a state-funded micro-grant program called Startup Toolbox to support entrepreneurs in the CU network to reach their commercialization milestones. 

I graduated summa cum laude from the University of New Mexico with a B.S. in Biochemistry, minors in Chinese, Psychology, in May 2020.
