B.S. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Honors

Thank you for stopping by our page! I’m looking forward to assisting you on your college journey. A little about me: I studied Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Pennsylvania State University and graduated with honors in 2021. Before coming to ESU, I worked at Johnson & Johnson as an assistant associate scientist in the Bacterial and Infection Diseases Department.

Fun Facts: I also play vibraphone in the ESU jazz ensemble, and I have performed in many ensembles throughout my life, including jazz, wind, percussion, regional wind, and marching band. If you're interested in performing at ESU, please feel free to reach out. And like Shawna, I love giraffes!
