I am excited to apply myself in Dr. Stokes' lab and broaden my academic scope. I am passionate about doing work that can help me and others discover more about the human body and what affects it. I am a junior Kinesiology major and health studies and biology minor with hopes of going to medical school after undergrad. I am looking forward to working with Dr. Stokes and the other students in this lab!

Dr. Stokes
Academic. Researcher. Explorer.
​
My path to get here was not linear, but I like to think that I learned a lot along the way. This convoluted path also proved to solidify what I knew all along: I love physiology, I love to teach physiology, and I love working in the research lab with students.

The lab mascot! A poorly extracted dorsal root ganglion resulted in this colorful prehistoric masterpiece. Captured during my thesis research, Toprosaur safeguards the lab.
