I'm a pathogen sequencing technician and research data analyst working in the Shelby O'Connor lab at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. My role in client services keeps me at the forefront of cutting-edge research, offering a daily dose of excitement and innovation.

With a solid foundation in the world of genomics, nurtured in the Korf Lab at the University of California, Davis and armed with a Bioinformatics degree, I am grepping and piping my way through large genomic datasets.

My current research interests include:

• Unraveling the secrets of Viral Evolution
• Proofreading Genome annotation pipelines
• Exploring Machine Learning
• High Throughput Computing
• Metagenomic environmental virus sampling/sequencing

When I get tired of scratching my head while debugging I like to take a break by dawning my lab coat and transform plasma into FASTQ files.
