Hi, I’m Amanda (she/her). I earned my B.S. in Biology from Purdue University–Indianapolis and my M.S. in Microbiology from NDSU. My background is in microbial genetics and plant–microbe interactions, with a focus on rhizobia chemotaxis, nitrogen fixation competition, and biosensor-based genetic engineering. I love collaborating with researchers on a variety of projects and am always excited to learn something new.
