I'm a junior from Carlisle, PA majoring in Microbiology with minors in Chemistry and Religious Studies with plans to go into research. I'm currently in the laboratory of Dr. Hēth Turnquist at the Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute studying the effects of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and the immune system after heart transplantation. In my free time I enjoy going downtown to Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra concerts, baking cakes, and fishing/kayaking.
