Born in rural Tennessee, I was raised most of my life in Cincinnati, OH where I attended Sycamore High School. I then began an 11 year-long journey at the University of Cincinnati for both my undergraduate degree (Biology) and my Ph.D. (Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology). In graduate school I studied Notch-induced T-cell leukemogenesis in the lab of Tony Capobianco. Mid-way through graduate school our lab moved to the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia where I completed my dissertation work. I then joined the lab of Nobel Laureate Harold Varmus at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. In the lab I studied BCL2-like proteins. As I was nearing completion of my Post-Doctoral work, I once again followed a mentor during a lab move, this time to the NIH intramural research program in Bethesda, MD. In 2011 I joined the faculty at the University of Louisville as an Assistant Professor. If you can’t find me in the lab (or my office) I will be either with my family or on a volleyball court! (In many instances WITH my family on a volleyball court!)
