Biograpy:
I graduated with high honors from RIT with a degree in Biology. Before I began the MSTP program I worked as a paramedic and paramedic educator in New York. Additionally, I was an adjunct faculty member in the department of biological sciences at RIT.
My work in Dr. Olivier’s lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms involved in QT interval (QTI) modulation. The QTI is a convenient marker of cardiac repolarization in both chronic and acute whole animal studies.
