    My research focuses on developing mass spectrometry detection methods for the post-translational modification tyrosine sulfation and expanding the understanding of the enzyme responsible, tyrosylrprotein sulfotransferase.

    Fun Fact: I am a lover of dogs with two of my own, and I can solve a Rubik's cube.
