I am currently studying the gene-by-environment interactions in Arabidopsis thaliana due to Midwestern climate change. During the fall 2022 semester and the spring 2023 semester, I watered and rotated 100 strains of A. thaliana based on experimental and control groups over the course of 2 months. During this time, I also measured the times of first.

I aided new biology students in adjusting to college life and developing a sense of community in the biology department. I did this by helping to facilitate and lead discussions in the BIO 101: Biology at Valpo course, as well as acting as a guide to incoming students. During this class, we introduced study strategies and campus/departmental resources.

I worked to identify major driver genes functions in immune regulation of colorectal cancer. I specifically looked at the effect of the Driver Gene Mutation SMAD4 in vitro via organoids and looked for differences in cell proliferation rate and drug sensitivity when the mutation was present and when it wasn't. To quantify this I utilized a BrdU assay and.

I helped in the set-up of lab materials which includes creating solutions, caring for invertebrate organisms, and making invertebrate organisms’ habitat. I would also take charge in cleaning up lab materials such as glassware and fish tanks, relocating invertebrate organism, and general organization. When my direct help in lab was not required, I would.

I conducted my Spotted Knapweed Biocontrol Research Product independently. This project studied the effect of seedhead weevils’ density on spotted knapweed coverage and overall plant diversity at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute. For this research, I measured spotted knapweed percent coverage, plant diversity and weevil density in 6 locations across Pierce.
