I was lucky to get incredibly solid training in Jeff Brodsky's lab at Pitt. My experience there fueled a passion for science as well as for education and mentoring. I completed my doctorate at Berkeley and made a quick turn to a career in teaching. I taught for a year at Lock Haven University in central Pennsylvania before settling at Penn State in 2006. As Director of Undergraduate Studies in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, I do a lot of academic advising and teaching. I derive a ton of reward being in the classroom and helping students one on one.
