I’m working to understand the role of certain plant ESCRT proteins in the late stages of protein cargo packaging. In my free time I enjoy growing and propagating plants native to Wisconsin, reading (favorite authors Neil Gaiman and Sharon Creech), and boating/waterskiing.

I joined the Otegui lab in 2022 through the Cell and Molecular Biology PhD program. I'm currently exploring the role of selective autophagy in organelle turnover in response to certain abiotic stress conditions. Outside of work, I enjoy organic gardening, playing guitar, doing karaoke, watching cricket, kabaddi and baseball.

I’m studying the role of some unique ESCRT proteins and domains in plants. Outside of research, I enjoy running in the beautiful Madison arboretum, video games, and board game nights with friends.
