I'm a doctoral candidate in the Program in Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and predoctoral fellow on the Viral Persistence and Pathogenesis T32 training grant. I'm interested in the molecular determinants of viral pathogenesis. As a graduate student researcher in the Hartman Lab at the Center for Vaccine Research, I study the entry and pathogenesis of diverse bunyaviruses using cell culture and mouse models. For more specific information, see my projects page.
