I was first introduced to research in the microbiology lab at Castleton University, where I conducted research for two years as an undergraduate. I was interested in biomedical research and have always been interested in cardiac function, so I was excited to be able to spend a summer conducting research in congenital heart disease at the University of Michigan. I also have experience studying blood pressure regulation and am currently in this lab studying the role of endothelins in retinal ganglion cell neurodegeneration in glaucoma.
