Before becoming a lawyer Sabrina worked for several years as a research associate at a Houston biotech company, engineering expression constructs to generate highly specific knock-out mice. She gained experience in gene trapping and homologous recombination technologies, including fundamental molecular biology techniques such as PCR, sequencing, radiolabeling, and BLAST analysis.
Sabrina has three dogs, none of whom are particularly well-behaved. Though a lapsed equestrian, she currently owns one retired horse living his best life on Kentucky blue grass, a one-eyed pony with attitude, and four hunter/jumper show horses. Sabrina also gardens and has been the owner of many plants that did not try hard enough. With her niece as her first client, she is exploring a career as a baby stylist.
