Undergraduate Student Researcher
University of Georgia
I am a third year Biomedical Physiology Major and Women's Studies Minor pursuing medicine. I’m founder and president of Partners for World Health, a student organization that redistributes medical supplies to those in need as well as Education Chair of Period Project, a nonprofit that works to provide menstrual products to those experiencing period poverty. In addition, I’ve been conducting undergraduate research for three years.
Ye Lab has been pivotal in my educational success. My curiosity for science has always existed, but my desire to help women and learn about reproductive health is what led me to research in reproductive biology. My passion for research along with mentorship from Dr. Ye and the PhD students at Ye lab has allowed me reach goals that I didn’t even know were possible. I’ve presented at the Center for Undergraduate Research Symposium (CURO) three times, the Steeve Giguère Symposium, and the Institute for Women's Studies Symposium. In addition, I’m a CURO scholarship recipient and am beyond excited to present at SSR. My research project will expand our knowledge of ovarian cell morphology as well as estrous/menstrual dysregulation and someday help those suffering from reproductive disorders.
