Biography

I grew up on a farm in Iowa with my parents, younger brother, and plenty of animals - pets and otherwise. In high school I became interested in medicine, and this interest has since expanded to include research. After finishing undergraduate work in 2004, I began studying neurodegeneration in Iowa City and St. Louis, and I am quite excited to have the opportunity to continue studying this topic at Cambridge. Next fall I plan to return to St. Louis to pursue an MD/PhD at Washington University.
