I was born and raised in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where I attended Southeast Missouri State University. I graduated from Southeast in 2005 with degrees in Education and Biology. Deciding to focus on my interest in biology, I moved to Madison to pursue a Ph.D. in Genetics. In the fall of 2005, I joined the Landick Lab. I found the Landick Lab appealing because of my desire to do basic research. I have always been interested in the fundamental mechanisms underlying bacterial transcription. My research currently involves the study of the transcription termination factor Rho. Although Rho was discovered in the late 1960s, much is still unknown about the specifics of its function. Using a combination of tools from genetics and molecular biology, I hope to better understand Rho's role in the cell. Publications Peters, J. M., A. D. Vangeloff, and R. Landick. 2011.
