Katie is an undergraduate research assistant working towards her degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Previously, she studied astrocyte development and the effects of Alg8 mutations in Drosophila larvae at Sarah Ackerman's lab at Washington University, St. Louis. In the fall of 2023, she joined Dr. Singhvi's lab.

Outside of her research, Katie finds joy in outdoor adventures, Dungeons and Dragons, and indulging in books. She eagerly anticipates the rainy Seattle weather and looks forward to spending more time exploring the city's cafes.
