Interests and Hobbies
I enjoy learning about many aspects of neuroscience, but in particular, I am interested in mechanisms involving multiple sclerosis through myelin, glia, and/or neurons to contribute to the wealth of knowledge surrounding the disease.
In my spare time, I like to hang out with friends, listen to music, game, and play Dungeons & Dragons.
