I am originally from Attleboro, Massachusetts. In May 2012 I graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.S. in Molecular and Cell Biology. I chose the CMB program because it is were I felt I could reach my full potential as a scientist. Outside of the lab, you will find me with my camera, exploring and photographing everything Vermont has to offer.
