Having completed my B.Sc. in Genetics and Cell Biology at Dublin City University, I pursued my Ph.D. in tarantula phylogenomics at the National University of Singapore. During my postdoctoral research at Carnegie Mellon University, I worked at Echinobase and learned how model organism databases operate. I am also a working group member at the Alliance of Genome Resources. My teaching background has focused on bioinformatics, genetics, and evolution.
