Postdoctoral associate studying neurovascular physiology at the University of Vermont.
Last month, I left NM to start my postdoctoral training at the University of Vermont. Slowly getting adjusted, but good memories are already being made (incl. my pets learning about squirrels).
So excited to be here and have already learned so much in the Harraz Lab!

My last day at UNM is next week- it is bittersweet to leave, but Im excited to start my postdoc!
In the meantime, Im staying lively and pushing through some final experiments Ive been eager to do 😮💨💀

I’ve been bracing for it- my funding was terminated today. Although this feels like just a ripple in the sea of everything else happening, I still shed a few tears this morning. After, I did what any preserving scientist would: I started a western blot.

Spending the last couple weeks doing confocal in a cold, dark dungeon makes me miss being in our lab (with windows)…. excited to push through these last experiments for my paper submission 🥳🙏👩🏻🔬

Tough day science-ing, but I am grateful for each day I get to spend in this lab. Celebrated my grad school journey a bit this past weekend- looking forward to defending in August! 🐺❤️🥼

Such a wonderful time attending APS and presenting my graduate work in the Jernigan lab for the last time at a meeting.
APS is always a great training and networking opportunity, but this year, I am especially grateful because it was hosted in the city my grandfather lives. 🥼🔬💕

New preprint from our lab! Some exciting work on a sex-dependent role of ASIC1a in cardiovascular function with stress/aging

My last student research day with my program was last Friday. Grateful to come together to learn about and advocate for each other’s science.

First post on Bluesky… grateful for the opportunity to present at The International Symposium on Resistance Arteries in Helsingør, Denmark this past week.
Cool science, great people, and new memories! Looking forward to the next meeting. 🩸🫀🫁🔬
