Summary
I love solving problems and making sense of data. I have a Master's degree in Biological Data Science from Arizona State University, where I focused on using data to answer big questions in biology. My work experience spans technical support for molecular diagnostics, forensic science, and defense against biological threats. I have worked for organizations such as BioFire Diagnostics, Jacobs, and the Utah Department of Public Safety. In addition, I am skilled in bioinformatics, data analysis, and presenting technical topics in a way that anyone can understand. Over 20 years of teaching have also made me great at breaking down complex ideas into simple, clear explanations. I know coding languages such as Python and R, and I am certified in Microsoft Office tools. Whether it is a lab, a classroom, or a technical support role, I thrive in fast-paced, problem-solving environments where I can make a real impact.
