My current project is studying autophagy in plants to understand the mechanism of how different genotypes and mutations affecting autophagy expression respond to environmental stressors. Outside of the lab I enjoy drawing, crocheting, and watching shows in my free time.

New article out in Nucleic Acids Research from our long term collaboration with the MacIntosh lab. We develop a new assay to measure RNA transport into vacuoles and show that the RNA helicase SKI2 is required for transport. The work was led by former PhD student Brice Floyd.
