ACADEMIC POSITION:
Research Fellow, Life Sciences Institute

EDUCATION:
Upon graduation I completed a Bachelor's of Science in Biochemistry in the Department of Biological Sciences of the University of Calgary. During this time, I had my first laboratory experience as an Undergraduate thesis student with Dr David Waisman.

I did my doctoral work with Dr Greg Moorhead in Biochemistry in the Department of Biological Sciences of the University of Calgary. Greg is an expert in protein phosphorylation, especially protein serine/threonine phosphatases. During this time I worked on the identification and characterization of several protein phosphatases in mammalian cells.

Since 2005, I have been a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Dr Alan Saltiel's Laboratory at the Life Sciences Institute of the University of Michigan.
