I joined NLS in July 2016 as a Research Associate for the Biotic Stress Team. Being a Saint Louis native, I chose to pursue a career in STEM. My education consists of a AAS degree in Biotechnology from St. Louis Community College-Florissant Valley and a BS degree in BioChem/ Biotechnology from the University of Saint Louis Missouri. Whenever I am not screening assays in the greenhouse, you can find me spending quality time with family and friends.
