Biography

I am an Early Career Researcher with a passion for advocating equity and equality in science! My primary research focus is oxidative stress, inflammation and aging. I have a strong desire to increase quality of life and 'healthspan' in the aging population. Other areas of interest include cardiovascular disease research, community nutrition, DNA damage, health literacy programs, and exercise physiology.

When I'm not STEMing, I enjoy getting out in nature, doing something crafty, and admiring my (and other peoples) pets.
