Associate Professor, Chemistry
When I first learned about DNA, I was fascinated with the question of how a compound with such simplicity could give us all the diversity we see in the world. It was with that question in mind that I chose to venture into biochemistry. After completing my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry here at Trinity, I went on to obtain a doctoral degree in Molecular Biophysics at the Johns Hopkins University with David E. Draper. I then crossed the country to San Francisco for a postdoctoral fellowship at University of California, San Francisco with Christine Guthrie. Each experience brought me a new set of tools to approach my questions, which had only grown in complexity with the more I learned. All along the way, I was also continually reminded how much I loved the interplay between teaching and research. Therefore, I sought out positions where teaching and research were partnered. This brought me back to Texas, and ultimately to Trinity.
