Curriculum Vitae
I am a first-year doctoral student in the Nursing PhD program with a background in nursing and cognitive sciences. Working with patients in the immediate postoperative period deepened my interest in pain management and led me to work with Dr. Kinsey, whose lab specializes in using cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system to treat various pain conditions. When I’m not in the lab, I enjoy reading a good book with a cup of tea and going for walks in nature.
