Her past experience includes researching a rare blood clotting disease and founding a patient education program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, working in the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce as an American Society of Hematology & American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science & Technology Policy Fellow, and co-chairing the National Postdoctoral Association’s Advocacy Committee.

She is also an avid collector of books, vintage records, and various fretted instruments; it borders on problematic.
