I’m a graduate PhD student here at UGA after having matriculated through the ILS program. I’ve joined Dr. Claire de La Serre’s gastrointestinal neurophysiology lab in the department of nutrition as a microbiology student. Currently, my project focuses on how reconstruction of the vagus nerve can influence or rectify over-eating patterns. Grad school has been treating me well, I’m very blessed to be here and to be learning about the concepts specifically related to the future I envision for myself.
