Biography

I have loved science since I was a child. My older sister went to college and I inherited a fish tank and a room full of books and magazines about biology, nature, and science. I initially wanted to be a Marine Biologist, but when I took a Genetics class in college, I fell in love and that is what I studied. In graduate school I studied catalytic RNA (a new discovery), and as a postdoctoral fellow, I studied Developmental Genetics. I supervised a research lab at Simon Fraser University for 10 years, but teaching was the part of my job that I enjoyed most. I came to UVU to focus on teaching.
