Hey there! I am a trans/non-binary neurodivergent person of color who started working at Boston University School of Medicine in the Genetics and Molecular Medicine departments as a Research Data Analyst II after finishing my M.S. in Bioinformatics and B.E. in Computer Science. My work involves research in Alzheimer’s disease, drug repositioning, multi-omics, and artificial intelligence. But I’m not stopping there – I’m interested in diving into regenerative medicine and other healthcare fields!

When I’m not crunching data and doing science stuff, I’m all about having a blast. I’m a social butterfly, and I’m involved in plenty of cool events. My home sweet home is a cozy queer and trans housing co-op, and I’ve been living with my awesome 8+ housemates since I moved to this country. Being part of the vibrant queer community is my jam, and I’m always here to lend a helping hand and spread the love.
