As a graduate student in the Washbourne lab my research focuses on the role of the SynCAM family of molecules in synapse formation.  My overall research interests include neurological diseases, specifically neurodegenerative diseases.  When I’m not in hiding in the lab I enjoy photography, camping and wine tasting.

I'm an undergraduate sophomore from Hillsboro, Oregon.  I'm almost finished my major in Biology and plan to go to graduate school .  I take really pretty pictures of glowing antibody-stained dead baby fish on a $200,000 microscope.  Beat that.
