When I wasn't reeling from diet-induced vitamin deficiencies I managed to complete college and get a B.A. in Biochemistry from McDaniel College (Westminster, MD). I then moved to Wisconsin to get closer to the source of my government cheese and attend graduate school in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. For my thesis, I studied the swarming motility of enteric bacteria, completing my PhD under the guidance of Dr. Douglas Weibel in February 2012. I thought these little microbes were pretty gnarly and wanted to engineer them to do novel things, like save the planet or make a bigger, better cheese, so I pursued a post-doctoral position with Dr. Brian Pfleger in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. I began my postdoc in May 2012 and eagerly agreed to be one of the iGEM advisors for this year's UW team.
