PhD Graduate Student, University of New Mexico Department of Biology

I am currently a graduate student at the University of New Mexico, under the mentorship of Dr. Coenraad Adema. My interests are in host/parasite interactions, invertebrate and evolutionary immunology, focusing on land snails such as Cornu aspserum. I have always had an interest in infection, with parasites coming into focus after attending a discussion group. When I'm not in the lab, I enjoy camping in the mountains and playing with my 2 dogs.
