Research Specialist, Biotech Innovation Core Lab
Hello! I received my B.S. in Biotechnology from NDSU in 2013 and have been working as a research specialist in the Micro department ever since. The majority of my career has been focused on working in microbial ecology. I have always had a passion for science, and am thrilled to be able to do what I love every day.
At home, I have a husband, two amazing young daughters, and a cat. I love spending time with my friends and family, reading, watching football, and anything that gets me outdoors.
