BioI earned my B.S. and M.S. from the University of Arizona in Cell and Molecular Biology. At the University of Arizona, I conducted research and my dissertation in Daniela Zarnescu’s lab studying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using fruit flies as a model system. I then continued to study ALS at Stanford University in Aaron Gitler’s lab where I earned my Ph.D. in Biology.
I am passionate about teaching science to diverse groups of students and have now transitioned to full-time teaching. I have taught first year liberal arts classes at Stanford including Our Genome (THINK68), Living with Viruses (THINK61), and The Cancer Problem (THINK23). In the Biology department at Stanford, I have taught Problem Solving with Infectious Diseases, Biochemistry, Genetics, and microbiology and introductory biology lab series. At Foothill College as tenure-track faculty, I teach the Anatomy and Physiology series and Microbiology Lab and Lecture.
