Biography and Research statement: I got my B.S. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from the University of Kansas in May 2021. I first got started in research in high school, when I worked in the lab of Dr. Jeroen Roelofs at Kansas State University studying proteasome autophagy. In undergrad, I did research in the lab of Dr. Erik Lundquist studying the genetic mechanisms that regulate neuron migration in C. elegans. This helped spark my current interest in Neurogenetics. I am now pursuing my PhD through the Genetics Graduate Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In the Drerup Lab, I will be studying how the transcriptome/proteome of the neuron is altered by retrograde transport of mitochondria.
