I was born and raised in Rockport, Massachusetts, and I graduated from Harvard in 2012 with a degree in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. I worked in Washington, DC, as an environmental consultant. I came back to Boston and conducted cancer research at Massachusetts General Hospital. I am now in my second year at University of Massachusetts Medical School, where I am involved in research, student government, and mentoring. I am excited to be in the Lowell House community again! I love to discuss nontraditional routes to medicine, attending college as a first-generation student, and easing your fears about applying!
