B.S. Biology	Univ. of South Florida	Tampa	1999
Ph.D. Chemistry	Univ. of South Florida	Tampa	2003

Post-doctoral Experience
Research Associate, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 2004-2006

Research Interests
Major research interests are in the development of new synthetic methodologies that lead to the construction of biologically active molecules with pharmacological properties. Special emphasis is given to molecules that may serve as antimicrobial agents (i.e. antibacterial, antifungal) or inhibitors of clinically important enzymes which we test in the laboratory.
