Margot values fostering strong relationships to her loved ones and in having a positive impact on those around her - friends and strangers alike. She believes in the value of human connection and community. She loves to help others by listening to them either as a supportive friend, or as someone that can offer advice. She takes particular interest in health and wellness, and she loves supporting the formation of healthy habits by accompanying friends to the gym or on walks, cooking with others/sharing recipes, and sharing wellness practices that work well for her. 

She has her Bachelor’s degree in Biology and she is currently a Research Associate at UMass Chan Medical School. She is studying a protein called Hsp90 that has been identified as a drug target for cancer treatment. She is also working towards getting into an accelerated nursing (RN) program, and she eventually wants to be a nurse practitioner and work in women’s health.

She is a passionate advocate for women’s health and wellness in particular - she wants to be an ally to as many women as possible and help them make informed decisions about their medical care. She believes in treating every patient as a person rather than as a case on a piece of paper, and she supports a holistic view of health and wellness. 

In her free time, Margot enjoys going ice skating, exercising, reading, listening to music/podcasts, going to concerts, cooking/baking, and spending time with her friends. She is always happy to learn new things and loves talking about anything from biology to philosophy.
