Hey guys! My name is Dari, and I am a Junior Microbiology major from Grafton, MA. At school, I do undergraduate research in the Holden lab, studying methane production and the microbes involved. I am also the social media coordinator for the UMass Microbiology Club and a teaching assistant. In my free time, I love watching scary movies and hanging out with friends.
