Why did you choose to attend PULSe:

During my undergrad, I did research in aquatic ecology but I was interested in moving into the area of cell and molecular biology research, however, I wasn't sure what exact area of research I wanted to pursue. PULSe gave me the perfect opportunity to explore many different research areas and be able to find a great lab and research topic fit!

About Me: (Hobbies and Interests when not in lab):

Outside of lab I enjoy spending time with my family and pets, traveling, hiking, and doing crafts such as crocheting and sewing!
