Biosketch: I am a reproductive physiologist with expertise in endocrinology, cell and molecular biology, and
epigenetics. My graduate research focused on developmental biology, ovarian physiology, molecular biology, and
epigenetics using bovine models, with projects investigating newborn health from IVF-derived embryos and
mechanisms driving ovarian folliculogenesis. As a postdoctoral researcher, I studied transgenerational effects of
obesogenic diets on gamete epigenomes. Since joining UNR, I have been leading research projects that explore molecular regulation of ovarian function as well as nutritional and environmental impacts on fertility and gametes epigenome.
