I have broad interest in molecular biology, immunology and biochemistry. During the course of my studies, I completed a Bachelor of Science in biology with an emphasis in molecular biology (minor in chemistry) and a Master of Arts in biology where I emphasized molecular immunology. After finishing my master's degree, I briefly worked for Medtronic Cardiovascular testing stent devices for endotoxin before taking a job doing micobiology, molecular biology and enology at Martinelli Winery, where I worked for 7 seasons. Since leaving the winery, I have continued to work for scientific goals including future research directions for my master's work, bioinformatics work, and enological work.
