Biochemistry & Russian Studies double major

In the years since I was a Vassar student, I joined the Sabeti Lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, MA, where I researched human genetics. I matriculated to the Yale School of Medicine in the summer of 2021 and am now entering my second year. I am also currently volunteering at the HAVEN Free Clinic, where I work with low-income and immigrant populations. I hope to finish my medical training soon and continue to work with these communities for the rest of my professional life.

My time with the “First Generation 9” (the initial iteration of the Transitions Research Team) was the absolute highlight of my time at Vassar. From conducting interviews with fellow Transitions students, to helping design the Accessing the Ivory Tower course, and co-facilitating that course with Professor Rueda herself, I learned so many lessons I carry with me to this day. If you’re looking for a worthwhile experience, there’s no one better to have in your corner than Professor Rueda.

Si se puede, y’all!
