I am so lucky to have a job I love! I have always enjoyed applying quantitative methods to solve biological problems, and working with a collaborative team to solve these problems is really fun. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband Keith and our dogs Olive and Moose. I discovered running in college and really enjoy trail running (and the occasional speed workout), as well as hiking, skiing when the opportunity arises, cycling around town, and searching for Missouri's best croissant.
