Alum Biography

Education:

University of Washington, Cellular and Molecular Biology, 2005

University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Biomedical Sciences PhD Candidate (Immunology)

Interests:

I love running, rowing, reading, discussing politics with friends, traveling, volunteering, and baking (preferably something with chocolate in it!).

Yearbook entry:

I will be working towards a MSc in Pathology with Dr. Nick Coleman. My project involves modeling HPV(Human Papillomavirus)-mediated cervical neoplasia. Specifically, I am interested in those cases which are driven by non-integrated (episomal) HPV. This work will prepare me for a career as a professor and research scientist. In this field, I hope to increase our understanding of cancer and inspire young biologists to pursue this intriguing field.
