2. Why did you choose Avanti? I was referred by a friend. I had previously worked in an antibody lab.

3. How do you like to spend your time outside of work? If I am not working, you can find me at a practice or sporting event with my son. He plays sports year round, so we are constantly on the go! If it’s baseball season, I am watching the Braves & going to at least 1 game each season. This year, 1 game turned into 3. If by some off chance I get to do something non-sports related, I enjoy reading, painting, making bleach shirts, or most arts and crafts.

7. What would be your favorite travel destination? I would love to take a tour of Castles from all over the world. Croatia & Scotland, just to name a few!
