Postdoctoral Fellowship, Integrated Program in Endocrinology, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Currently I am a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Aleks Stanic in the department of Obstetrics & Gynecology. My research focuses on the immune factors that contribute to infertility and inflammation in polycystic ovarian syndrome. I use single-cell and spatial transcriptomics as well as biochemical techniques.

I also collaborate with Dr. Jenna Schmidt at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center to evaluate gene expression changes across gestation in Rhesus macaque placentas, to better model human pregnancy complications.

In summer 2024 I attended the Cold Spring Harbor Statistical Analysis of Genome-Scale Data workshop to better analyze our transcriptomic data sets.

Internship with Proov (MFB Fertility)

In 2022, I worked as a Research and Development Intern at Proov, maker of at-home fertility tests. I have since collaborated on several studies, including validation of a complete at-home hormone testing kit. I have also ghostwritten dozens of blogs now published on the Proov Website, and continue to contribute to research on hormone tracking for both fertility and contraceptive purposes.

Fertility Awareness-Based Methods

I am also certified as a fertility awareness educator by the Fertility Education and Medical Management (FEMM) Foundation. I have worked with individuals and couples to help them use a highly effective fertility awareness-based method to avoid pregnancy.

I have also presented my hormone tracking work with Proov at several conferences focused on Natural Family Planning/Fertility Awareness-Based Methods.

I founded and operate Four Lakes Fertility, LLC.
