Research interests

I have a strong interest in microbiology, specifically in virology, and have gained experience in producing, optimizing, and editing protocols to fit project requirements with an emphasis on resourcefulness and cost reduction. My research interests are centered around analytical skills in microbiology and human disease, and I have published two papers in the former field. Additionally, I received the Exeter Award and the Clare Nunn Travel Grant for exceptional academic and professional skills. Overall, my interests lie in advancing the field of microbiology by applying my skills to research in human disease.
