I am a PhD candidate in the lab of Dr. Marc Coppolino at the University of Guelph where I study the role that β1 integrin-mediated adhesion signaling has on MT1-MMP activity at invadopodia. My favourite part about research is the analysis and preparation of data – seeing everything in its final form is very rewarding! In my time outside of the lab I enjoy running, teaching fitness classes, and hanging out with my two cats, Loki and Nova.
