"Lucy was born and raised in Seattle and attended Western Washington University, where she earned her degree in biochemistry. In 2021, she pursued her PhD at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. During her first year there, she was diagnosed with Ocular Melanoma. This personal challenge inspired her to redirect her research focus towards the disease. Since her diagnosis in the fall of 2022, Lucy has been delving into the interactions between the immune system and ocular melanoma, aiming to improve the future of immunotherapies."
