Career Trajectory
Bio
The highlight of my path as a scholar has been an extensive history of research across a wide breadth of disciplines. Having a desire to become a biologist because of interactions with inspirational science teachers, I applied to the University of Michigan with the intent of getting involved with the prestigious research community fostered at Michigan and undergoing a rigorous academic training to prepare for a career in research. Through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, I was introduced to the Timothy Y. James laboratory and began conducting research within my first semester as a student. Remaining with the James laboratory until the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the end of my undergraduate studies, I lead or was mentored in projects broadly related to ecology and evolutionary biology. Through these projects, I gained technical experience in methods in genomics and gene editing. My research experience at Michigan complemented my knowledge of microbiology and microbiological laboratory techniques from my coursework, the breadth of fields covered between my research and coursework overall making me a well-rounded scientist. Under the supervision of Dr. James, I served for three years as a teaching assistant and laboratory course technician for a special laboratory course sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. My experiences teaching other undergraduates and serving as a mentor have cemented the importance of education to my career goals and my desire to train and support the next diverse generation of scientists. Some of my projects at Michigan were related the curation or use of archival samples. Seeing firsthand the kind of studies that can be done on pre-existing specimens, I realized the potential of archives around the world to greatly support the research community for generations to come. As a proponent of the use of archives in the research community and a scholar interested in educating students, I enrolled in the Driskill Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences and joined the Gayle Woloschak laboratory. The Woloschak laboratory is home to the Northwestern University Radiobiology Archive (NURA), the world’s largest collection of irradiated animal tissues and consisting of specimens from many of the landmark radionuclide studies funded by the Department of Energy. The breadth of the archive and expertise of the Woloschak lab provides the prime environment to use archival specimens in the process of generating tools to guide clinicians during potential health crises related to radiation exposure. While heavily involved in the development and maintenance of the archive, I will assess the microRNA and elemental biomarkers of leukemias and lymphomas in dogs fed strontium-90. Altogether, I look forward to improving as a scientist and educator at Northwestern and work towards applying the lessons learned in both to a fruitful career as a scholar.
