Bio

Faculty Advisor: Rotation
B.S., 2021, Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico
Entered Program in 2022

### Current Research Interests
I am interested in the molecular mechanisms involved in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), specifically in the mTOR pathway and how they can affect neurodevelopment in an ASD model, and in pharmacoresistant epilepsy. I also have interests in pharmacology and toxicology and would like to merge that with neuroscience. 

### Personal Interests
I am from Puerto Rico, so my main interest is traveling back home every time I can. I also enjoy reading, spending time with my colleagues and trying new food!
