Plant Biology; Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Sciences Program
BIO
I grew up in Connecticut and was given the opportunity to study an agricultural curriculum in high school. I received my BS in biochemistry from the University of Tampa. Currently, I am a PhD candidate enrolled in the Cellular, Molecular and Biomedical Sciences program through ¶¶Òõ̽̽'s Plant Biology Department. My interest is in minimizing the effects of food insecurity and I approach this using the model organism Arabidopsis to study root and root hair growth. I was awarded the FSRC fellowship for the 2024-2025 academic year and I'm excited to contribute to the understanding of food systems.
Area(s) of expertise
