About

I have always had a passion for learning and personal growth. I began community college after high school in 2007, but life took me in a different direction before I was able to complete my education. During that time, I built a long career in healthcare as a Certified Nursing Assistant while raising my children as a single mother.

In 2019, I made the decision to return to school and finish what I started. I completed my Associate degree at Spokane Community College and later earned my B.S. in Biological Sciences through Arizona State University, whose flexible online programs made it possible to balance full-time work, family, and education.

Through ASU’s undergraduate research opportunities, I discovered a passion for research, genomics, and data-driven problem solving. These experiences gave me hands-on exposure to laboratory methods, bioinformatics tools, scientific writing, and independent research.

Today, I am searching for a career that will utilize my skills while pursuing a master’s degree in Biological Data Science. My interests include clinical trials, translational research, genomics, and improving patient outcomes through science. I care deeply about making research more approachable, relatable, and useful to the people whose lives it is intended to improve.

As I continue building my career, I am actively seeking opportunities that support domestic and international relocation, particularly in the United Kingdom or Canada.
