I am a research assistant who joined the Schimmel-Yang lab as an intern in June of 2006. After graduating from UC San Diego in December of 2007 with a bachelors degree in biochemistry and cell biology, I remained in the lab as a full-time technician. Since then, I have been managing the lab as well as assisting Dr. Min Guo as he solves the mysteries of Alanyl-tRNA Synthetase and the Human Multi-Synthetase Complex. Being a passionate Los Angeles sports fan, I spend most of my outside time watching the Lakers and Dodgers destroy all of their opponents.
