Bio

I received my B.S. degree in Biochemistry and Cellular Biology from UCSD in 2012. I worked in the biotech industry for a few years followed by a research/lab manager position at UCSD in the Chemistry department for a few more years.

I returned to school in 2017 in the MCDB Ph.D. program. I currently work in the Hayes Lab studying contact dependent inhibition (CDI) in bacteria. I am interested in the outer membrane receptors for CDI and the protein interactions within the CDI mechanism. I TA a couple of lab classes that focus on bacteria and mentor a few undergrads that are interested in bacteria and fundamental mechanisms.
