    About me: I’m a former wahoo, receiving my biochemistry degree in 2019. However, it seems like after my undergrad I’ve become less of a chemist and more of a biologist, working in a molecular biology lab on circadian rhythms, and now a microbiology lab! I’m fascinated by cell biology, and I’m excited to see where my PhD pathway takes me at the Cortes lab. Besides being great at chemical extractions, I’m also an avid snowboarder and an okay-ish skier. When it’s not below freezing outside, you can usually find me hiking, camping, or roller-skating with my dog.
