Why did you choose to attend PULSe:

I wanted the opportunity to join a lab with interdiscinplinary research. PULSe gave me the opportunity to rotate in different labs in a variety of disciplines. I was looking to join a lab where I could use my biochemistry and microbiology background while doing research in a new discipline. I also liked the amount of collaborations that occur throughout Purdue and the PULSe community.

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

When I am not in lab you can find me running on campus training for a full or half marathon. I enjoy hiking and various outdoor activities. I also enjoy spending time reading a good book and crocheting. I love to travel and do my best to plan a trip every year. I also enjoy attending music festivals and seeing some of my favorite artists.
