Welcome to my website!

I recently completed my Ph.D. in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) program at UNC-CH. I conduct research under the direction of my advisor, Doug Phanstiel, Ph.D., where I investigate how DNA loops regulate gene transcription in human development and disease. As a bioinfomatics scientist, I use my knowledge of statistics, computer science, and biology to develop software to better analyze, visualize, and understand genomic data.

I have worked on a variety of diverse and interesting projects including 1) how changes in DNA organization lead to a deadly form of acute myeloid leukemia, 2) how genetic variants can impact osteoarthritis genes via DNA looping, and 3) building software packages for visualizing genomic data in R.
