I did my undergraduate research at DePaul University with a focus on marine animal immunology and environmental conservation. I then switched gears to do my Master's degree here at °µÍø½ûÇøChicago in infectious disease research that affects marginalized populations disproportionately, with a focus on HIV-1 therapeutics. Finally, I switched gears yet again for my dissertation work, focusing on reproductive health biology and the human microbiome, still at °µÍø½ûÇøChicago. This steadfast refusal to stick to just one area of research has led me here, to an instructor position in the Biology Department.
