For as long as I can remember, I have been curious about space. I would look up at the night sky and let my imagination run free. Space excites me because there is so much left to discover. It is a field that requires a creative and critical thinking approach to solve problems. From a health perspective, I am fascinated by the complexity of the challenges that arise when astronauts are exposed to the harsh environment of space. In my career, I aspire to leverage my educational background in cell biology and anatomy and my passion for space to solve space health challenges.

I am a fourth year undergraduate student at Western University, and serve as the VP Internal with the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) Canada. This past summer, I was fortunate to work on a space health project titled "Evaluating Cytoskeletal Changes in Natural Killer Cells After Simulated Microgravity Exposure." I am currently looking for summer internships for 2023, and I am excited to continue engaging in space health research in my graduate studies.
