Curriculum Vitae: HTML

I was born in Washington, D.C. on March 10th, 1978 but grew up in Potsdam, New York. I graduated from Stanford with a B.S. and M.S. in Biological Sciences and a secondary major in physics in 2002 and then spent one year living in St. Petersburg, Russia and traveling among the former soviet republics and Eastern Europe. After this experience abroad, I returned to Stanford and worked as a technician in the lab of Steve Block working on the mechanics of nucleotide folding in 2003 while applying to graduate programs. I am now a graduate student in the lab of Julio Fernandez studying protein mechanics.

The aim of my research is detecting small, short-lived intermediates in the folding and unfolding of proteins.
