About me:
I am from the Twin Cities area in Minnesota and am so excited to begin the second chapter of my Wisconsin experience! Originally pursuing the PreMed track, I switched my focus after working as a summer field researcher in Wisconsin and becoming more interested in food systems.
Some areas of research that excite me are anything involving genetics and genomics, the interaction between humans and the environment, and global health topics as they relate to agriculture. In the fall I will be joining the Schoville lab working with potato beetles, which I am quite acquainted with from my brief time in the field.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking in State parks, playing tennis, any activities on the water, trying new restaurants around Madison, and attempting to become a runner. I love to try new things and am very excited to meet everyone!
