I am a sixth-year trainee in the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), where I am pursuing dual MD and PhD degrees. I am currently completing my PhD in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience under the mentorship of Dr. Eisenlohr-Moul in the CLEAR Lab. I am particularly interested in the neuroscience of hormonal contraception and investigating the pathophysiology of reproductive mood disorders in adolescence. Dissertation Topic: Idiographic Effects of the Menstrual Cycle and Steroid Hormones on Suicidality in Adolescents
