I am a current Masters student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. My primary research interests are in the field of Microbial Ecology and I am currently advised by Dr. Rachel Poretsky at UIC. Prior to attending UIC, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Dayton. While at UD, I performed research in an Insect Ecology lab under the advising of Dr. Chelse Prather.
Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time with family, friends and my dog. I love to travel, try out new restaurants, listen to country music and spend lots of time outdoors. Check out some photos below!
