I recently graduated with a PhD Biomolecular Sciences from Boise State University, where my research focus was understanding the molecular processes of metastasis, particularly in how inflammatory cytokines function within varying subtypes of breast cancer. Currently, I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Virginia, identifying novel targets for pancreatic cancer. My long-term research goals aim to contribute to the development of more effective treatments for cancer patients by exploring the mechanisms that drive cancer spread and identifying potential therapeutic targets.
I also serve on the AACR Associate Membership Council, where I collaborate with peers to advance cancer research and promote the success of early career scientists.
