\section*{Summary}

I am currently a computational biologist at Boston Children's Hospital in the Division of Nephrology. As a member of the Sampson Lab I am presently leveraging genetic, genomic and RNA-seq expression data to identify novel eQTLs the glomerulus and renal tubule to further uncover the heritable factors contributing to nephrotic syndrome. This work will further provide insight into the pathogenesis of other renal diseases, as well as broad renal function. I am also involved in the design, troubleshooting, and analysis of various other genomic efforts to understand podocyte biology in health and disease using state-of-the-art technologies such as scRNA-seq/sc-ATAC-seq, MPRA, and organ-on-a-chip. I completed my post-doctoral training at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School Channing Division of Network Medicine investigating the genetics and functional genomics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This research involved genome-wide association studies, statistical genetics and fine-mapping, transcriptomics, and chromatin accessibility assays.  During my Ph.D. in the lab of John Iacomini at Tufts University Sackler School of Biomedical Sciences I worked on \textit{in vivo} and cell-based models of calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity, using transcriptomics and sequencing methods to detect \textit{in vivo} miRNA:mRNA targeting. In prior work as a research technician I have largely worked on molecular and cell biology projects related to immune function, ER stress, gene therapy, and high throughput chemical biology screens.
