Biography

At Cambridge I will pursue an MPhil in Zoology with Dr Michael Akam studying segmentation in arthropods.  I will compare segmentation mechanisms in a basal lineage of insects to those in vertebrates.  Additionally I hope to participate in science education with the University Museum of Zoology in Cambridge.  In my career I will continue scientific research in a university or museum setting while serving as an educator. I would like to study developmental biology through a comparative lens, leading to a greater understanding of evolutionary history.
