I am a PhD researcher in the Biology department at Georgia State University. My doctoral research focuses on developing new therapeutic targets to improve Inflammatory Bowel Diseases treatments.

I am passionate about education, FOOD, volleyball and of course science! If you can’t find me in the lab, working on my research project, I am probably in my “second lab” helping my teaching assistants with everything they need for their classes to go smoothly.

I spend a lot of time in school but when I am out, I love spending time with my little family. I am married to a smart and loving “chulo” (Spanish is my native language) and we have a beautiful daughter called Jellybean (our cat). We both love science, photography, cooking, going outdoors and many other things…

I like making new friends, so please stop by and say Hello if you ever read my posts!
