ALEXA BARNES

My name is Alexa Barnes, I'm a 30-something living in the Bay Area. I work as a Bioinformatic Scientist for Thermo Fisher Scientific. I am passionate about being a bridge between science, engineering, and leadership. I strive to do this by creating and utilizing cutting-edge technology and being actively involved in company culture. I have special interests in health informatics and legal informatics... I was born and raised in Utah. I attended the University of Utah for my undergraduate degree and moved to Seattle, Washington after graduation. After working for a few years, I went back to grad school in San Diego, California. I relocated to San Francisco to work for Thermo Fisher Scientific as a bioinformatics scientist in 2020.
