I have a two-year fellowship with Kenan Fellows. Working with labs at NC State and UNC, my group of 9 will be conducting various experiments, creating cultures, testing many different variable and participate in microbiome sequencing involving bacteria and salmonella. Our lab experience will inform our lesson plans to create national 4-H curriculum.

I do not yet have a picture of my mentor, Matt Koci, and myself yet, but there will definitely be more to come over the summer. I love the entire salmonella group of fellows. We have quickly become a close-knit group. I cannot wait for all the professional development to continue–both in and out of the labs. 🙂
