I came to Southwestern University in 2003. I received a B.S. with honors in Chemistry at Caltech and later received my Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin. There, I studied the biochemical and biological consequences of the reaction of an anti-cancer drug (Et 743) with DNA.

At Southwestern I typically teach General Chemistry as well as courses in Biochemistry.
