I grew up in Spofford, NH, and received my bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from Middlebury College in 2013. I joined the Rayment Lab in December of 2013. My work is focused around creating improved enzymes that will be capable of detoxifying trichothecene mycotoxins, which are released by the fungus Fusarium, and are known to devastate cereal crops. Apart from research, I enjoy skiing, hiking, kayaking, and fishing.
