I have been employed at The Jackson Laboratory since October 2004 starting as an Animal Care Technician. I have done Shared Service under Dr. Karen Svenson working in the diet kitchen making high fat diet as well as other specialized diets. I became a Research Technician under Dr. David Harrison and now with Dr. Ron Korstanje. My primary responsibilities are to the databases that track the ITP mice through their lifespan along with the databases for extra mouse inventories, diet inventories, and organization and implementation of monthly testing schedules. I received a B.A. in General Studies from Northern Arizona University in 1989.
