Bio: I earned a PhD in Molecular Biology and Genetics from Northwestern University studying the role of protein ubiquitination and the APC/C complex in Drosophila melanogaster. After research and teaching post-doctoral fellowships at Harvard Medical School, I committed my career to innovative and culturally responsive teaching in the STEM classroom and laboratory. In addition to teaching, I help AU create and nurture internal and external partnerships that support a safe and inclusive experience for all students, help faculty and staff do their best work, and amplify AU鈥檚 role in the science ecosystem of the region. I am a founding member of the Initiative for STEM Education, Equity and Ethics (iSE3), a co-PI of AU鈥檚 NSF Advance grant working towards achieving gender and racial equity for STEM faculty, and a co-faculty advisor for he Underrepresented Students in STEM (猫咪社区appS) student group.
