PhD student at McMaster in the Richards Lab studying the role of Oncostatin M in influenza induced lung inflammation. Check out my song parodies https://www.bioparodies.com/

Getting to sing one of my of my song parodies for virology quiz review sessions remains the coolest thing I get to do as a TA!! Shout out to the wonderful Caitlin Mullarkey for being the most amazing boss and continuing to indulge me year after year!
