I received my BS in Biology in 2006 from the University of Maine. After graduating, I spent the next two years living in Salzburg, Austria studying German and traveling (don’t ask about kangaroos). After coming back to reality, I worked in a lab at MMCRI in Scarborough, Maine for a year, and discovered a passion for research. I joined the CMB program in 2009, and am currently working in Dr. Yvonne Janssen-Heininger’s lab.
