I graduated summa cum laude in 2013 from the College of Wooster with my B.A in Biology. As an undergraduate, I received the Horace N. Mateer award in Biology and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Honors Society. Here at the University of Washington I have received the Top Scholar Award, the Riddiford-Truman Fellowship, and the Hoag Endowed Graduate Fellowship from the Department of Biology and was an Honorable Mention recipient of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program. I am also a Science Communication Fellow at the Pacific Science Center and frequently enjoy doing scientific education and outreach with the Evergreen School, Villa Academy, Roosevelt High School, the TAF Academy, and other organizations in the area.
