Analytical Chemist and Mass Spectrometrist | Expert in steroid and lipid analysis

Profile Summary

I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in a reproductive toxicology lab performing data analysis on discovery proteomics research. I earned my Ph.D. in Chemistry, where my research focused on mass spectrometry, ion mobility spectrometry, and liquid chromatography analysis of steroids, metabolites, lipids, and proteins. I also have a bachelor's and Ph.D. minor in Women's and Gender Studies and have performed qualitative and quantitative research in this field.
