Bio:
I have worked at Duke since September of 2006, where I began my post-doctoral research in the field of HIV vaccines and immunology in the laboratory of Dr. Georgia Tomaras. Since joining the laboratory, my role as evolved to project and laboratory management, and I have had the pleasure of supervising many excellent employees over the past 9 years. I enjoy being a part of the cutting-edge science and energizing collaborations, as well as mentoring and managing junior level scientists and helping them maximize their contributions to the field of vaccine development.
I look forward to participating in the Duke Management Academy so that I can learn more about myself as a leader and apply the lessons learned to inspire and support my coworkers and team.
