Biography

Hi everyone! I am a pre-med senior concentrating in Biology on the Neurobiology track (and potentially Hispanic Studies). I serve as a clinical research intern at Bradley Children's Research Center, focusing on adolescent mental health. I work to investigate the neural mechanisms behind suicide ideation, suicide attempts, and self-harm through self-referential behavior. As a result, I have become a Spanish medical interpreter, a crisis counselor, and an elementary classroom aide. I am involved with the Hispanic community on campus as well as different publications like the Brown Journal of Medical Humanities and Her Campus. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
