My passion for science and biology began before I even knew it was happening. I spent my summers growing up in a trailer surrounded by nature, questioning everything. This interest led to my pursuing an undergraduate degree in biology and my introduction to research. In 2009, I received a PhD in molecular biology from Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. My PhD studies and post-doctoral studies since that time have focused on looking at changes inside of cells that occur due to diseases like cancer and I have published my research in top scientific journals. The more we know about our bodies, the better chance we will have at living a healthy life. This is why I got into teaching. I love learning about ways to make ourselves the healthiest we can be so why not share all the knowledge? I have developed and taught a course on cancer biology for undergraduates which focus on all aspects of the disease: epidemiology, cellular changes, treatment and prevention.
