Biography

I am a Research Associate in the Cahill and Baker labs. I got my PhD from the University of Notre Dame in microbiology where I developed a novel urinary catheter material to reduce infection during catheterization. I got my undergraduate degree from Concordia College Moorhead and was part of a research group looking at age related differences in axonal sprouting following injury. Outside of the lab I go on adventures with my dog and cat and coach high school track.
