Thesis: Maternal Microchimerism in Malaria-Endemic Settings: The Role of Maternal Microchimerism on The Developing Infant Immune System
I'm very grateful to have spent the last four years studying Microbiology at UW and am leaving with a passion to improve human health through medicine.
Some favorite moments from the past four years include:
- a 22-mile hike through the Enchantments
- studying abroad in Israel and volunteering as an EMT
- every weekend spent with my housemates (fun fact: half of us met at Honors orientation)
- working in a lab researching maternal-fetal interactions of malaria
- establishing the Loaves of Love program with Chabad
I am so thankful for the memories I've made with my friends, the mentors I've gained, the time spent outdoors, and every opportunity for growth that the UW has provided me.
