About

I grew up mostly in the American Midwest, between Illinois and Minnesota before going to Missouri for my undergraduate and graduate training. My interest in science has evolved constantly, influenced greatly by my former mentors. Therefore, I enjoy being a mentor and strive to instill the same interest and passion in my trainees. In my free time, I like to travel with my family and our two dogs.

About

I’m from Las Vegas, Nevada, and I moved to Philadelphia to pursue my master’s degree at Drexel University, where I graduated. Outside of school and work, I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors. I especially enjoy playing tennis, hiking, and snowboarding whenever I get the chance. I’m always looking for new activities and opportunities to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
