Bio
Thank you to the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics for this award. My passion for the world of microbes grew exponentially throughout these four years and I have my amazing professors, mentor Allie Igwe and the Vannette Lab, my fellow lab mates, friends, and family to thank for that. I am inspired everyday by the incredibly hard working and supportive scientific community at UC Davis, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us all.
