A California native, I moved to Seattle in 2002. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition from Bastyr University, and am pursuing a PhD in Biochemistry at University of Washington. My graduate work in Jim Hurley’s lab centers on the development of imaging methods to study retinal metabolism, particularly photoreceptors. When not at the microscope, I’m likely working around my houseboat, taking in the sights at one of Seattle’s fantastic parks, or enjoying the city’s vibrant art and music scenes. As a lifelong student, I’ve mastered living on the cheap – having a blast in this town doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune!
