| I was born and raised on the north side of Chicago before moving to Evanston, IL to attend high school. I fled from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest to study biology for my undergraduate degree at Reed College where I graduate with a BA in 2002. For my senior thesis, I looked at SNARE-mediated release of neuropeptides from Aplysia. I generated absolutely no data, but my interest in neuroscience grew, so upon graduation I went to work for Drs. Sacha Nelson and Gina Turrigiano in their synaptic physiology lab at Brandeis University outside of Boston. I left Boston for Nantes, France where I lived for a year. I am happy talk to anyone at length about France given any opportunity, but I’ll spare you for the moment.
I returned to the US and had the good fortune to find myself working here at Columbia for Dr. Elizabeth Miller. Dr. Miller’s lab is interested in intracellular protein trafficking and mechanisms by which cells regulate secretion of proteins from the ER in the context of protein folding. As a graduate student, I would like to continue to study questions of intracellular protein trafficking in the context of neuroscience.
I also enjoy talking about dinosaurs, dance, Antarctica, my cat, Bob Dylan, France, American literature, and outer space. |
