More Information
I grew up in Norfolk, Virginia, and graduated from Geneva College with a B.S. in Biology and minor in Chemistry. I am driven by a deep-seated curiosity concerning Nature's most remarkable survivors and chemists: microbes! In my free time I enjoy swing dancing, cooking, hiking, and adventures.
Research Information
In my project, I aim to provide insight into the unique biosynthetic potential of cave-dwelling microorganisms and contribute to the discovery of novel antibiotics.
