Hometown: Miami, FL

Undergraduate Institution: Florida State University

Current Stage and Institution: PhD student at Johns Hopkins University

Discipline/Track: Molecular Biophysics at Hopkins

Research: At Fisk I investigated the molecular mechanisms that may contribute to the resistance profile of the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii which is very prevalent at Nashville General Hospital. I used various biochemical, biophysical and microbiological techniques to achieve my goals.
