My journey into science began with my high school strengths in biology and chemistry, which led me to study biochemistry. At first, I didn't fully understand all that the field entailed, but I soon discovered just how fascinating and wide-ranging it could be. Early in my studies, I developed a strong interest in neurodegenerative diseases—conditions that profoundly impact patients and families and are becoming more common as populations age. This growing interest inspired me to pursue a PhD, allowing me to deepen my expertise and contribute meaningfully to understanding these complex diseases.
