After graduating from Bennington College in 2003, I worked in laboratories at MIT and the University of Washington before entering the graduate program in cellular and molecular biosciences at the University of Vermont. My graduate research focused on vesicle trafficking patterns affecting cell shape and cell wall deposition in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. I obtained my doctorate in 2013, then moved to the UK, where I conducted postdoctoral research on vesicle trafficking dynamics and endomembrane organization at the University of Glasgow, and on plant root cell biology at the University of Bristol. In September 2024, I joined the Department of Biological Sciences at UdeM and established my laboratory at the IRBV. My research aims to understand how vesicle trafficking patterns are coordinated in plants by visualizing and measuring changes in trafficking pathways in response to various stimuli. This approach will help build a holistic understanding of how the endomembrane system functions to support plant growth and adaptation to environmental changes.
