Senior microbiologist in environmental public health and current PhD student in Freshwater Sciences at UW-Milwaukee. My work primarily includes using novel techniques such as digital PCR and ONT sequencing to detect and quantify fecal indicator bacteria in beach water, quantifying human pathogens in wastewater, monitoring SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens in air samples, as well as using classic microbial techniques to monitor pathogens in drinking water. I am most interested in developing new molecular-based techniques to detect human and wildlife pathogens and antimicrobial resistance in aquatic systems.
