Worked as a Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, Elon University, Elon, NC (2012-2013) Postdoctoral Research Associate with Dr. Mara Duncan, Department of Biology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2009-2012), Now working as an Assistant Professor of Biology, Department of Biology, Gannon University, Erie, PA. Ph.D., in Cell Biology, from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville VA; Dissertation:"Regulation of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Trafficking by Secretory Carrier Membrane Protein 3" Advisor: Dr. David Castle; 2009 B.S., Biology, James Madison University, Harrisonburg VA; 2000. She taught Courses Genetics,Genetics Laboratory,Human Genetics,Molecular and Cellular Biology.

Thier lab is focuses on the molecular mechanisms of how membrane traffic is dysregulated in human diseases such as cancer, neurodegenertive disorders, and diabetes. We use mammalian tissue culture cells and the small eukaryotic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to explore how changes in membrane traffic affect cell survival and metabolism.
