I’m originally from Kansas City, Missouri where I graduated from high school in May 2013. I moved to Columbia the following fall and began my first semester at the University of Missouri as a biochemistry major. After I receive my BS in Biochemistry in 2017, I plan on working towards a career in forensics. (Possibly animal forensics!) I’ve always been interested in genetics and anatomy, so I found myself in the Lyon’s Lab to gain some undergraduate research experience. In my free time I love to exercise and watch Netflix. And of course, I have one kitten, named Molly, who gets everything that she wants.
