Biography

I did my bachelor's degree at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. I did my Masters degree at the University of Minnesota, Duluth where my research focused on the seasonal removal of waster water pathogens by alternative waste water treatment systems. I did my Ph.D. at the University of Iowa examining CD8 T cell responses to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and how these CD8 T cell inhibit the development of RSV vaccine-enhanced disease.
