Science Teacher at Strake Jesuit

I teach AP Biology and Advanced Chemistry at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory in Houston, where I also coach swimming and assist with campus ministry.

I have a Ph.D. in Genetics & Genomics from Texas A&M University, where I studied genome evolution, population genetics, and sex-chromosome dynamics. My dissertation, "From Evolutionary Theory to Biodiversity Genomics: Modeling, Assembly, and Prioritization Across the Tree of Life," included work in achiasmatic meiosis modeling, comparative genomics of Chrysina beetles, and development of SeqDef, an R package for genomic data prioritization.
