Hi everyone! I’m excited to return to the Leverett community together with my little poodle, Mochi. I am a MD-PhD student at HMS and originally from Germany. I finished my PhD in computational neuroscience in the Senseable Intelligence Group at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT. There, I worked on questions involving adolescent development and psychiatry, predominantly using brain imaging data. I am currently in my clinical rotations at MGH. I also help organize the German American Conference and have been involved in various teaching opportunities. In my free time, I love to do training with my dog, cook vegetarian meals and am currently learning Spanish!
