Bio in brief...

 At present, I'm a government contractor for the National Institutes of Health at their Animal Center in Poolesville, Maryland. Laboratory animal medicine offers the opportunity to work with different species while supporting biomedical advancements. In my current position, I provide clinical care and colony management for a large non-human primate colony as well as some rodents. I also collaborate with researchers, provide support for different biomedical research models, and help with quarantine processing. Prior to this position, I completed a residency at Johns Hopkins University as well as internships and externships at government, academic, and private research institutions.
