Career Stats

Honors:
MIAC Academic All-Conference - Fall 2010

Why did you choose Macalester?
I decided to visit the campus since everyone I talked to had nothing but good things to say about the college especially about their academics and I just loved it here.

What other activities are you involved in at Macalester and in the community?
I have been playing on the Macalester Women's Club Lacrosse team since freshman year in addition to doing research here on campus with the Chatterjea lab where we study the connections between inflammation/immune system and pain.

Do you have any unique talents, did you have a interesting internship this summer, have you invented something interesting?
I have really been able to get involved in research during my time at Macalester. My junior summer I did a summer research program at Mayo Clinic where we worked on discovering novel RNAs that could point to different subcategories of oropharangeal cancer. This summer I stayed at Macalester, continuing research that I started during the school year in the Chatterjea lab, looking at the dynamics of immune cells in tissue using flow cytometry.

Something I am really excited about this year is a new class offered at Macalester, Projects in Global Health. In this class we will collaborate with doctors in Uganda on their current research projects and then travel to Uganda in January to present and visit the clinics.
