Biography: I received my B.S in Earth and Environmental Sciences from the University of Michigan in 2025. Here, I studied harmful algal blooms–specifically how varying nitrogen inputs influence the metabolite production in the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. I am excited to continue my work in environmental microbiology!
