My passion for biomedical research has always stemmed from an intense curiosity about nature and a desire to improve people’s lives. This led me to study pharmacology in graduate school where the goal is to use science to make medical advances. I received my B.S. in Chemistry from Duke University and my PhD from the University of Pennsylvania where I studied complement-based therapeutics for the rare renal disease C3 glomerulopathy. I then spent 8 years as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Hawaii and University of Washington where I focused on hypoxic signaling during myocardial infarction and cardiac regeneration. Most recently, I worked for the Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) as an Associate Editor for Science Translational Medicine, a multidisciplinary journal that covers translational research across all fields of medicine. I oversaw all aspects of the editorial process from initial evaluations to peer review, editing and publication of manuscripts in a wide range of fields including cardiovascular disease, bone disease, pulmonology, nephrology and fibrosis. I have now transitioned to freelance work and look forward to working with clients to complete their projects.
