I graduated with a BS in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, as well as an MA in Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology from UCSB in sunny Southern California. I'm stoked to make the move out east to see what weather below 65 degrees has to offer! My undergraduate research looked at co-treatments of chemotherapy drugs with magnetic nanoparticles in order to increase treatment efficacy. My Master's work focused on decoding the dynamic and combinatorial signals of embryonic development through optogenetics--in other words, excessive systems and synthetic biology. In my free time, I love drinking tea, cooking, and then eating inordinate amounts of food. I'm super excited to be at Dartmouth and hope especially to indulge in the excellent hikes and accompanying beer!
