I do cancer genomics and study tumor evolution, genomic instability, and phenotype plasticity to advance precision medicine.

I'm a postdoc in the Cancer Genomics and Evolution Laboratory at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. I hold an NRSA fellowship from the National Cancer Institute and a TRIUMPH fellowship from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

I earned my Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Pathology at the University of Wisconsin - Madison where I developed novel methods to quantify chromosomal instability in tumors. Before that, I earned my B.Sc. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.
