I began work with Drosophila studying the mechanism of larval hemocyte transdifferentiation in the Brückner lab at UCSF during my undergraduate studies.

After graduation, I worked as a research assistant in the Perrimon lab at the Harvard Medical School, developing in vivo technologies such as prime editing, nanobody-directed protein degradation, and S2-cell based CRISPR screens.

In the Extavour lab, I aim to improve functional genetics approaches for new model Hemimetabola, and to characterize Oskar-phospholipid interactions.
