Today marks 3 years since my mom passed away. I think about her every day and wish she could be here with us. She was my best friend and the greatest mom anyone could ever ask for. I love you always and forever, Mom!

I had a great time celebrating my lab manager’s wedding this weekend! Congratulations to Shaun and Fabienne; I wish you nothing but love and happiness! 🥰

Captain Hazel is ready for her next adventure!

So grateful to have received a Trainee Merit award at #SLEEP2024! I am excited for the future of sleep research and medicine! Sleep Research Society

While in Houston, I had the chance to meet bariatric surgeon Dr. Nowzaradan from My-600 Lb. Life. He is an inspiration to many people, and I’m so glad I was able to come to his office to meet him!

With presenting a poster/attending the #SLEEP2024 conference, going to an Astros game, checking out Space Center Houston, and walking along a boardwalk on the Gulf of Mexico, it’s been a fun few days in Houston! Until next time, Texas!

Same research, different city! Happy to present my work at Johns Hopkins Sleep & Circadian Research Day!

And the Orioles win 8-3 today to beat the Phillies 2-1 for the series this weekend! Happy Father’s Day!

It’s a paint your pet kind of day!

It was such a great trip to Colorado for the National MD/PhD Conference! Altitude sickness is no joke, but it was worth it to be able to explore the city, share my science with others, and network with other MD/PhD students from across the country!

Sunshine, Saturday, and Shih Tzu! ☀️

2024 University of Maryland, Baltimore MD/PhD Retreat!
