I am a junior at Marquette University with a major in Physiological Sciences and a minor in Anthropology. I plan on pursuing a career as an general dentist after graduation. I work in a developmental biology research lab on campus, studying how gene misexpression affects development at high temperatures in C. elegans. In my free time, I enjoy cheering for the New York Giants.
