Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a current 3rd year Behavioral Neuroscience student at Northeastern. I am interested in neuropharmacology and hopefully I will get my PhD. Neuropharmacology is how the chemicals in your brain are either normal or how they are not working. It also has a focus on different drug receptor targets. Anyways, I am from Ashland, MA and moved a few times to CT and PA. My interest include photography, traveling, and having fun!
