I am pansexual and I am a biologist.//
I completed my BS and MS in biology at UNC Greensboro. I took my first job 1500 miles from home working for a new investigator in a clinical translational lab studying the immunology of liver transplantation. I left that job two years later and joined a well-established lab at UNC, where I studied the swi/snf chromatin remodeling complex in a model of hepatocellular carcinoma. Seeking research autonomy and career advancement, I began my PhD at Duke. Presently, I am working to create new tools for genetic perturbation of the developing sea urchin embryo, and am using functional genomics methods to understand cellular responses to sodium arsenite exposure.
