Brief biography
I had one daughter (my first F1) when I was 19 (oops!) and the second F1 (also a daughter) two weeks before my interview for this job at UWL. My older F1 is married, lives in the Twin Cities area, and has produced three adorable F2s. My younger F1 graduated from UWL in Spring 2020 with an Environmental Chemistry major and a minor in Mathematics and lives in Chicago.
I love my job, especially the teaching, research, and interactions with my awesome colleagues. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, hiking, gardening, camping, snowshoeing, and traveling to see new cool things (especially the Great Lakes and waterfalls).
Not having enough hours in a day has been a problem of mine for many years now. :)
Current courses at UWL
Genetics and lab, Human Molecular Genetics and optional lab, Advanced Genetics, First Year Seminar (STEM Strong: Why Women Matter)

Research and publishing
Effects of antimicrobials on yeast
Our lab is working to determine the mechanism of an antimicrobial that was derived from a naturally occurring compound from a plant (the sweet fern) We use genetics, molecular biology, microscopy, and other techniques as we try to figure out how this compound kills yeast cells of various types. My undergraduate and graduate students usually major in Biology, Microbiology, and/or Biochemistry but anyone excited to learn bench skills and how to think like a scientist is welcome.
