I am a Midwestern native and raise two bright, young children with my husband. After completion of a BS in biology at Minnesota State University, I have become a nine year lab science technologist with experience in automation and mass spectrometry. As a technologist in the Endocrine Laboratory at Mayo Clinic, I had worked under the leadership of Dr. Ravinder Singh and Dr. Stephan Grebe. Over the past year I have transitioned to assay development in the Immunology Laboratory at Mayo Clinic under the direction of Dr. David Murray, Dr. Melissa Snyder, and Dr. Maria Willrich. From this transition, I have taken special interest in proteomic analysis by mass spectrometry, while working closely with Dr. David Barnidge and Dr. David Murray.
