I am currently enrolled as a full-time student at Montana State University studying biotechnology with a focus on microbial systems and a minor in genetics. I will be graduating in December 2024. In January 2023 I started my position as an undergraduate researcher in the Wiedenheft lab at MSU where I study bacterial immune systems. I am also a member of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve as a military police officer since 2019. I have spent a total of 2 years on active duty status all around the country and abroad.Upon graduation I am searching to start a career where I can make a difference in my community using my unique set of skills and expertise.
