Hi! I'm Amanda, welcome to my page! I am 5th year Ph.D candidate in the Shikuma Lab at San Diego State University in the Cell and Molecular Biology Joint Doctoral Program with University of California, San Diego. I am currently seeking a postdoctoral position starting Summer or Fall 2022. I use bacterial genetics and genomics to study the properties of bacteria that influence the settlement and metamorphosis of marine invertebrates (tubeworms, Hydractinia and corals). I am a NSF Graduate Research Fellow (2017-2022) and ARCs Scholar (2020-2022). Beyond research, I am interested in outdoor activities, the advocacy of women in STEM, scientific communication and being a good colleague and friend.
