  • Notable Achievements:
    • In my undergraduate career at UNCW, I was able to work in Dr. Pierre LePabic’s developmental biology lab. I was able to work on locating/determing RARGb and GDF expression in zebrafish from 24 hours post fertilization to a week old in their craniofacial growth zones. I helped in the care of the zebrafish as well as the mating process.
  • Additional Information:
    • I have two cats, I love to read, travel, and I hope to be able to work in a genetic counselors office helping people discover potential courses of action in relation to genetic diseases, disorders, and cancers.
