Biochemical mechanisms of photosynthesis during adverse climate environments.  

###Quick Profile

**What got you interested in plants and plant science?**
I have always been an outdoorsy person, so plants, nature, and sustainability were always an interest of mine. I believe our future requires rapid advances in plant science if we are to adequately address global climate changes. Because I believed that, I wanted to actively works towards it.

**What is your research about?**
My current research explores how a chloroplastic lipid droplet influences photochemistry for the light reactions of photosynthesis.

**Where do you see yourself in 10 years?**
In 10 years, I would like to be in a career working towards scientific translation and investment. 

**On a Saturday afternoon, you'll likely find me:**
I enjoy being outside, so pending Michigan weather I hope you will find me kayaking, hiking, etc. with my dogs.
