I'm a natural science lover with the heart of an artist and the mind of a philosopher. There's nothing I love more than a good challenge or a puzzle! I currently work with one of the largest known sequenced collections of filamentous fungi in the world. I'm a bit like a librarian of fungal taxonomy.

Hardworking and detail-oriented Research Associate II with 4+ years of experience in fungal/bacterial microbiology and data management. Proven track record in cultivating and maintaining extensive fungal strain collections (100K+ strains), leading data recovery initiatives, and developing custom database tools. Skilled in aseptic laboratory techniques and automation, with a focus on enhancing operational efficiency and accuracy.

Committed to advancing research efforts through interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative solutions.

I attended The Evergreen State College while obtaining my Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology, with a focus on mycology and fungal taxonomy.
