Tayler is a second-year student in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Genetics. She joined the lab in 2023 as a research assistant, where her work sparked her interest in genetic research and led her to continue in the lab as a graduate research assistant. With a BA in Biology and a BS in Psychology, she is broadly interested in the genetic underpinnings of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions. Outside the lab, Tayler enjoys caring for her houseplants, spending time with friends and family, and walking her beloved chi-poo, Ivy.

Lilly is a first-year student in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Genetics. She obtained a BA in both Biology and Data Science in 2026, and is generally interested in using computational methods to solve complex genetic questions. Outside of the lab, she likes a variety of arts such as writing, character design, and cosplay, as well as birdwatching and insect collecting. 

Kelsey is a second-year student in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Genetics. She joined the lab in August 2025 after graduating with her B.A. in German and B.S. in Biology. She is broadly interested in understanding the genetic underpinnings of neurodevelopmental conditions, such as ADHD and ASD, with a current interest in the genetics of language, particularly the connections between language and neurodevelopmental disabilities. As someone with ADHD, neurodiversity is very important to her, as she works to figure out the stories connecting genetics and neurodevelopmental conditions. Outside of the lab, Kelsey enjoys watching TV, building Star Wars lego sets, spending time with friends, and hiking.
