I am currently a Grand Challenges Fellow working towards my Ph.D. to design a high-sensitivity biosensor to detect Botrytis in vineyards. I recently graduated from Cal State Monterey Bay (2024) with a BS in molecular biology. My capstone project used multi-locus sequence analysis to characterize species of Streptomyces in agricultural soils.
