Ph.D.-Molecular Biology, UC Los Angeles
The central goal of my new laboratory’s work is understanding how rhomboids participate in ER function, retrotranslocation, and the stress pathways that result from their absence.
For fun: running, watching sports and mindless reality tv shows, playing fantasy football, hanging out with my daughter

B.S. Cellular and Molecular Biology, CSU Northridge
I study the mechanistic role of rhomboid proteins in stress-induced breast cancer progression.
For fun: I enjoy doing anything/everything outdoors, watching Rom-Coms, and spending quality time with loved ones

I am working on understanding the mechanism of protein degradation pathways by identifying Dfm1 residues that are sufficient for retrotranslocation.
For fun: I like to binge watch TV shows (especially Friends), cook ramen, and travel!
