I graduated from Prescott College in 2006 with a BA in environmental studies and spent nearly a decade traveling the country and working service industry jobs before I decided to go back to school at the University of Montana. I was mostly interested in biology but when I took my first computer science class I found that I really enjoyed the work. I was then lucky enough to be introduced to Travis Wheeler and learn that I could use computer science to make important contributions to biological research.
I joined the lab in 2015 and since then I focused my research on developing sequence alignment software that uses profile hidden Markov models to perform frameshift-aware translated alignments. After I received my Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Montana I continued on with the Wheeler lab as a full-time staff member and followed the lab down to the University of Arizona.
When I am not working I am mostly a homebody, spending time with my son and our two dogs.
