I started at VU in 2015.  I went to Southern Illinois University, Carbondale and have B.S. and M.S. degrees in microbiology, molecular biology, and biochemistry.  I teach microbiology for health science and biology majors.  I also get to teach our BIOL 100 course for non-science majors.  I advise Molecular & Laboratory Biology majors, Pre-Chiropractic, Pre- Physician Assistant, and Pre-Occupational Therapy majors.
