About Me
I am a Sensory Neuroscientist with a passion for teaching. I
currently teach Computer Programming, Digital Image Processing, and 3D modeling
to graduate students in the Master of Science Modern Human Anatomy (MHA) program and in the Neuroscience
graduate program at CU Anschutz. I also lecture extensively on functional
neuroanatomy to graduate and dental students. I received my BS in Psychology
from Duke University and my PhD in Molecular Medicine from the University of
Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio.

Research Focus
My research has focused on the formation and maintenance of
structures critical for olfaction. Specifically, I generated 3D models of the
main olfactory bulb in order to investigate the role anatomical structure plays
in function. In addition to publications in the Journal of Neuroscience,
Chemical Senses, the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the Journal of
Comparative Neurology, and PLoS ONE, I have co-authored opinions for the
journal Trends in Neuroscience and a chapter in the Encyclopedia of
Neuroscience. More recently, I have applied my expertise in imaging analysis
and modeling to collaborate with many neuroscience faculty members at CU
Anschutz. I have published in journals such as eNeuro, Development, and PloS
Genetics. You can find a complete list of my publications here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/1dEt7v_cll1AK/bibliography/public/
I am a strong promotor of getting undergraduate students from
underrepresented populations to participate in neuroscience research. I am the program director for an NINDS-funded summer
internship program: the Neuroscience Colorado Research Experience (N-CORE).
N-CORE is an alliance with graduate students from the Neuroscience graduate
program. N-CORE gives URM undergraduate students
from the Colorado metropolitan area authentic neuroscience research experiences
in biomedical research labs at CU Anschutz. You can read more about N-CORE
