I am a Ph.D. Candidate of Microbiology with a Designated Emphasis in Biotechnology in Dr. Jonathan Eisen’s lab and a Business Development Fellow at UC Davis. My research interests are centered around using bioinformatics to investigate ecological relationships of microbes using previously generated datasets.

I live in Sacramento, California with my husband and our 2 cats and 2 dogs. In my free time I enjoy tending to my culinary garden, reading memoirs, and volunteering with Cake4Kids to bake birthday cakes for at-risk youth.

I tweet here often about science that I find cool and my life as a scientist (and beyond).
