I am a graduate student in the Genetics and Genomics Program at Baylor College of Medicine. My dissertation project is focused on redefining the pathophysiology of inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism by characterizing novel mouse models of cblC syndrome.

I earned my B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of St. Thomas. Prior to graduate school, I completed a fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center through the Partnership for Careers in Cancer Science and Medicine (PCCSM) program, where I studied the role of TOR signaling in the C. elegans germline.
