I hold a Ph.D. in Microbiology with a Designated Emphasis in Biotechnology from Dr. Jonathan Eisen’s lab and was a Business Development Fellow at UC Davis. My dissertation work largely focused on using bioinformatics to investigate ecological relationships of microbes using previously generated datasets, while my time as a Postdoctoral Scientist in Bioinformatics at Novonesis has focused on developing solutions that enable wet-lab scientists to quickly and accurately answer biological questions using omics data.

I live in Sacramento, California with my mini dachshund, Nellie, and 2 cats, Clark and Barry. In my free time I enjoy participating in community events, tending to my culinary garden, reading memoirs, making art, and volunteering with Cake4Kids to bake birthday cakes for at-risk youth.
