BIO

I am a non-binary individual originally from Massachusettes and came up to UVM to do my undergraduate degree in Plant Biology. I have continued my education at UVM to get my PhD in Plant Biology. I have always been interested in the way that things work; all the way from computers to biological organisms, I have always been fascinated by the 'why' of anything. I also love many things outside of academics such as music (listening to it and making it), nature, hiking, biking, and making delicious meals with my partner.

My research is in observing the mechanisms behind salt stress and how it affects different aspects of growth in legumes. Right now I am running experiments to see if there is a systemic or local response to salt stress and testing if it is regulated by the growth hormone abscisic acid. I currently work in the Harris Lab under the advisement of Jeanne Harris.
