I am a recent graduate from Quinnipiac University, where I earned both my B.S. in biology and my M.S. in molecular and cell biology. This background fostered my love not only for all things biology, but also for learning! That is why I am continuing my education at the University of North Carolina in pursuit of my Master of Public Health (MPH). Since graduation, I have traveled throughout Spain, where I worked as an au pair and assisted teaching English to the children I lived with. Sharing my passion for the life and social sciences with others has always brought me immense joy, and luckily I have the opportunity to also find joy in my travels, as well as through spending time doing anything outdoors, from gardening (that's the biologist in me!), to hiking and scuba diving.
