I was born in Charleston
SC, but spent my formative years in the town of Irmo, just outside Columbia
SC. I did my undergrad at Clemson University where I spent
most of my time working in a genetics lab and singing in a male a cappella
group called Tigeroar. I graduated from Clemson in 2005 with a B.S.
in biochemistry, and came to Chapel Hill in the fall of 2005. In
my first rotation with Dr. Alisa Wolberg, I studied thrombin generation
and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. My second rotation was with
Dr. Buddy Weissman where I studied the human SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling
complex. I am currently in my third rotation in the laboratory of
Dr. Frank Church studying the plasminogen activator system and Activated
Protein C in the context of cancer metastasis. In my spare time I
enjoy writing music, playing guitar, and long walks at dusk on the beach.
