I obtained her B.S and M.S in chemistry from York College CUNY & Queens College CUNY. I then went on to pursue her Ph.D. in chemistry from Stony Brook University in the lab of Prof. Peter Tonge. My primary research interests involve protein functions and how mutations and small molecules alter the dynamics of proteins. My dissertation research was to elucidate the photoactivation mechanism of blue light sensing flavoprotein, a promising optogenetic tool. As an IRACDA scholar, I worked  on protein degradation assay and studying the kinetics of Mpro SARS-COV2 inhibitors to understand their residence time.
