Graduate Student

Arroyo, Puerto Rico

I am a graduate student in the DBBS Neuroscience Program. In 2019, I graduated from the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey with a B.S. in Natural Sciences. After graduating, I joined the Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) at UNC-Chapel Hill. Currently, I am interested in understanding how circadian rhythms regulate brain cancer progression and what approaches can we use to optimize current therapies by considering time of day.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, watching TV shows, and planning vacations (especially to Puerto Rico).
