-I am in the process of completing my studies as a Microbiology major with a minor in Global Public Health and Epidemiology at Michigan State University. Currently, I work with Sarah Tomkovich to explore how stresses on the gut microbiome affect colonization of *Clostridium difficile*. During the school year, I am part of the ShadeLab at MSU where I study the heritability of microbial communities using seeds.
+Joanna returned to the Schloss lab in 2023 as a Bioinformaticist, having previously been an undergraduate researcher in 2019, working with Sarah Tomkovich on *Clostridium difficile*.
+During her MS, Joanna worked on characterizing the plant microbiome of plant compartments in the common bean with Dr. Ashley Shade, as well as designing a protocol for creating your own "Mock Microbial Community" for seqeuencing and extraction applications. 
+After her MS, Joanna completed a CDC Infectious Disease fellowship at the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, where she aided the lab in building sequencing capacity.
