After taking some time to explore other career paths, she became an ORISE (Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education) Fellow at the Organic Analytical Toxicology branch at the CDC in Atlanta, GA, preparing human serum samples for quantification of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) via Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry. She next moved to Los Angeles, CA to begin a Laboratory Research Technician position in the kidney physiology laboratory of Dr. Janos Peti-Peterdi.
