I am an undergraduate student studying Neuroscience from Raleigh, NC. I’m a POWERED undergraduate student in the Gaur Lab at Dartmouth Cancer Center. POWERED is a federally funded National Cancer Institute program. Under the program, I’m currently studying ent-28 through freshly resected tumors from glioblastoma patients. My project is to assess the efficacy of a 𝛽-estrogen receptor agonist through MRI-driven volumetric evaluation of implanted patient-derived tumors in mice. During my freshman year, I studied the effects of experience and reward predictability on rat behavior in a maze at the Dartmouth Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Prior to that, I participated in an ongoing study that examined the mechanism of lymphatic drainage in esophageal cancer in mice in the Biomedical and Technology Lab at North Carolina Central University. I’m passionate about the fight to eliminate healthcare disparities in the US and currently serve as a Dartmouth Global Health Fellow. In addition, I’m a certified Community Health Ambassador for the Duke Cancer Institute. In my free time, I like to skateboard and play cello and lacrosse. Additionally, I’m the captain of Soyeya, an African dance troupe on campus.
