Professional Biography
I serve as the Laboratory Manager for the Reproduction Group at the Gluck Equine Research Center, University of Kentucky. With a background in biochemistry, I support research in equine reproductive biology, focusing on seminal plasma proteins, biomarkers of pregnancy loss, and functional assays of reproductive performance. I also mentor graduate students and visiting international scientists, fostering both scientific development and a supportive, well-balanced lab environment.
