I grew up in Wisconsin and got my BS in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin Madison, followed by a MS in biology from the University of Houston (TX) and a PhD from Stony Brook University (NY).

Specialty Area

Cell biology and human genetics

Education

PhD, 1996, Stony Brook University
MS, 1988, University of Houston
BS, 1983, University of Wisconsin - Madison

Research

I am interested in how cells and genes work to influence our health, especially rare diseases and connective tissue disorders. I am committed to improving the experiences of first generation students in STEM and making online courses more engaging and accessible for all students.
