Genetic Counselor | Researcher | Total Nerd

I am a certified genetic counselor and Assistant Professor with the University of North Carolina Greensboro Genetic Counseling Program. I serve as the Research & Capstone Coordinator for the Program and support students completing their Capstone projects. Prior to joining the UNCG faculty, I spent 10 years working as a research coordinator and project manager on studies exploring the utilization of genomics in healthcare. Much of my work focused on implementation of pharmacogenomics (how genes impact our response to medications).

I am passionate about genetics education, which has inspired me to pursue a PhD in Adult Education with a focus on continuing ed for healthcare providers. I’m involved with continuing ed through the National Society of Genetic Counselors’ Special Interest Groups, and its Education Committee.
