I completed my PhD through the Biochemistry, Cell, and Developmental Biology Graduate Program at Emory University. Under the guidance of my mentor, Roger Deal, PhD, I am applying both wet-lab and dry-lab techniques to dive into the field of plant epigenetics and characterize genetic enhancer elements across plant genomes. I am skilled with sequencing.

I applied for and received a competitive federal fellowship to support my graduate research from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This two-year funding opportunity has culminated in the completion of my doctoral degree and a manuscript that is in preparation for submission.
