About
I am a graduate student at the University of Florida currently in a program for a master's of science in microbiology and cell science with a focus in medical microbiology and biochemistry. I also currently work full-time in research as a nurse research specialist in clinical and basic science research. I have two undergraduate degree's; the first is in nursing and the second is in biology with a focus in biomedical sciences. I have worked many different areas of nursing prior to research and have a diverse background. The current research I am involved with is in pulmonary and critical care medicine. My lab group focuses on sepsis and acute lung injury.
