I obtained my B. A. in chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania in 2016. While at UPenn, I received scholarships through the Gates Millennium Program and American Chemical Society Scholars Program and conducted undergraduate research in the laboratory of Professor Gary Molander. Thereafter, I attended UCLA and was trained as a computational and synthetic organic chemist in the laboratories of Professors Ken Houk and Neil Garg. While at UCLA, I was awarded NIH F31 Ruth L. Kirschstein and UCLA Eugene V. Cota Robles Fellowships, obtaining my Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 2021. Currently, I am an NIH K99/R00 MOSAIC Scholar, NSF MPS-Ascend Fellow, and Caltech Presidential Postdoctoral Scholar in the group of Professor Brian Stoltz. As a postdoc in the Stoltz laboratory, my research focuses on the development of catalytic methods for enantioselective quaternary center formation using a combination of experiments and computations. I am excited to train the next generation of synthetic and computational organic chemists and will be starting the Ramirez laboratory in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities this January 2025. As a first-generation Latina born to Mexican immigrants, I am especially excited about building a diverse and inclusive environment in my future research group.
