About me
I am a PhD candidate in the lab of Michael T. Lewis, PhD in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston TX. I am studying epithelial and stromal functions of hedgehog signaling in mammary gland development using mouse models and a variety of techniques.
In addition to research, I am passionate about teaching, developing my teaching skills, and mentoring students.
