Hello! I am an undergraduate student at UC Davis, pursuing a major in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior and a minor in Music. I joined the Tripp Lab because I believe that medicine reaches its fullest potential when it goes beyond clinical care to include advocacy and a deeper understanding of the social systems that shape health. The research being done in this lab is an important way to strengthen these connections and work towards a healthcare system that is truly equitable by centering lived experiences and diverse perspectives. I am excited to contribute my own experiences and perspective to this work while learning from others who are committed to creating meaningful change. In my free time I love making music and getting outdoors.
