After attending South Dakota State University, I transferred to University of Texas - Brownsville to obtain my Bachelor's of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I have worked teaching science at the high school and middle school, teaching 8th grade science, Chemistry, Physics, IPC, Aquatic Science and Astronomy. 

I returned to UTRGV to obtain my Masters of Science in Biology and graduated in 2023. 

I competed in the College of Science Annual Research Conference 2023 and placed 1st in my research involving the effect of ethanol consumption on locomotion of honey bees.
