Post-doctoral Research
I am an ASERT-IRACDA Post-doctal Fellow in the lab of Dr. Richard Cripps at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM. (Visit the Cripps lab) The focus of the laboratory is understanding the basic mechanisms of muscle development.

Research projects
- Characterizing the role of Actin79B and Actin57B is Drosophila muscle development
- Mrtf in early myoblast development
Graduate Research
I was a graduate student assistant in the Waxman lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH. (Visit the Waxman lab) The focus of the laboratory is eliciting the mechanism through which cardiac size is restricted ultimately hoping to contribute to a greater understanding of congenital heart malformations.
