I received my B.S. in Biology from Appalachian State University in December of 2007 followed by a B.A. in Spanish in May of 2008. As an undergraduate, I studied the effects of ultrasound on enzymatic activity. Specifically, I investigated the ultrasonic enhancement of degradative enzymes on cellulosic substrates in an effort to make ethanol fuel production from cellulose more economically viable. I joined the Heitman lab in August 2008 as a research technician to gain more lab experience and supplement my undergraduate education before entering graduate school. Outside of the lab, rock climbing, taking care of my two dogs, and dreaming of travel destinations fills my free time.
