I studied a dual program of Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Bachelor of Science with an extended major in Microbiology, Infection, and Immunity at The University of Queensland. During my undergraduate program, I completed multiple semester-based research projects, including a project under the supervision of Dr Liviu-Gabriel Bodea at the Queensland Brain Institute. I was a volunteer in Karin’s lab during 2024. I am now completing an Honours project in Karin’s lab focusing on the microglial response in Alzheimer’s disease, under Dr Liviu-Gabriel Bodea’s supervision.
