Current Students
I am from Salt Lake City, Utah. I earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Utah in Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Emergency Medicine and a minor in Chemistry in Spring of 2021. After graduating with my B.S, I started working in the Dermatopathology Laboratory at the University of Utah as a histology technician and am now the supervisor of the laboratory. My decision to pursue an MS in Medical Laboratory Science emerged from my passion for laboratory sciences, specifically pathology. I am confident that the versatility and skills learned in this program will set me up well for future career endeavors, and I look forward to the opportunities ahead! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband trying new restaurants and coffee shops. I also enjoy reading, working out, and I host a book club.
I am from Salt Lake City, Utah. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Sciences at the University of Utah in 2021. Since graduating, I have been building clinical experience and developing my laboratory skills at ARUP in the Biochemical Genetics Department. I love the rewarding feeling of providing useful information to clinicians and having a hand in the stabilization of a patient's condition. In my free time, I really enjoy spending time outdoors, either paddleboarding or walking my dog, and indoor activities such as acrylic figure painting or engaging with the elctronic arts via video games. I hope to be able to transfer the skills that I have developed in my current laboratory to a more R&D-focused setting. I have a great eye for detail focused work and love working with my hands. Where I se the best application of my knowledge and skillset is in assay development around particular methodologies such as flow cytomertry or mass spectrometry.
I am from Kaysville, Utah. I attended Brigham Young University and graduated with a BS in Medical Laboratory Science in 2020. I have been employed in this capacity since then in various generalist roles but now work in flow cytometry for Intermountain Health. My thesis project is advised by Dr. Timothy Hanley; I am investigating the effect of HIV-1 infection on macrophages derived from different monocytic subsets to ascertain perturbations in innate immune function. My decision to pursue the MS in Laboratory Medicine and Biomedical Science stems from my own personal curiosity about the research process and a desire to engage with scientific method on a deeper level. Outside of school and work, I enjoy cooking, drawing and reading.
I'm from Highland, UT. I earned my degree in Microbiology from Brigham Young University a few years ago, and since then, I have been working as a lab technician for various companies. I chose the master's in medical laboratory sciences program because of my desire to jump into the MLS world. I love research, especially medical research, and this program allows me to expand my knowledge in that field, while still allowing me to gain experience as an MLS. Outside of graduate school I enjoy spending time with my husband playing video games, going on small adventures (outdoors or indoors), or reading a good book.
