I am a Biology researcher and during my PhD at Vanderbilt University I have been conducting translational research that has the potential to positively impact human health. I have expertise in metabolic disease and membrane and lipid biology.

I am currently working in Dr. Todd Graham's lab, where I am investigating the role of ATP10A and ATP10D in metabolic syndrome using a novel mouse model.In addition to managing and maintaining the mouse colony, I have also developed the cell culture component of the lab. My contributions, as well as the contributions of our collaborators, have allowed for the successful execution of this project and have lead to valuable discoveries in this area of research.

​

I am a logical and systematic scientist who strives to find the most efficient way to solve complex problems. I am also an organized and adaptable project manager and I hope to take on a role that allows me to utilize my communication skills to communicate scientific topics through various mediums; such as oral presentations and written methods. I am eager to explore career opportunities where I can make a meaningful and lasting contribution.
