I graduated from Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (ACPHS) in Albany, NY with a Masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences and a Doctor in Pharmacy. At ACPHS, my research was on the synthesis of nonretinoid inhibitors of RPE65, a visual cycle enzyme, for the potential treatment of dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Stargardt disease. Currently, I am a graduate student at the University of Michigan, College of Pharmacy in Ann Arbor, MI studying Medicinal Chemistry. For my PhD I am working on diagnostic and theranostics PET ligands.
