I grew up in Ceres CA here in the central valley. I am currently finishing my B.S. in Biology at CSU Stanislaus. I have always had an
interest in science, and being part of a team that helps ensure safe quality dairy is sent to consumers is fulfilling to me. In my spare time, I
like hiking, playing soccer, and going to the gym. Other hobbies I recently picked up have been taking care of my 40-gallon aquarium, and reading.

I grew up in Ceres, CA and graduated with a B.S. in Animal Science from UC Davis. In 2021, I joined the Lander Veterinary Clinic ET/ IVF department in pursuit of my passion for bovine genetics. In the lab, you can find me searching for oocytes and embryos while listening to audiobooks or fertilizing and growing embryos until they are ready to be transferred/frozen. In my free time, I love going hiking and backpacking with my husband and two dogs or hanging out with my family.
