Rebecca Pavlat earned her bachelor's degree in
general biology from Baylor University in May
2000.  After graduation she began working at her
uncle's shrimp farm to help out during the busy
harvest season.  After harvest she got a job doing
environmental chemistry work for a small private
lab in the Houston area.  During her time there she
learned new applications for all types of chemistry.
 She then got an offer to work for a research
program at Texas State University-San Marcos in
the Biochemistry Department.  This allowed her to
see the differences being made in cancer research
every day.  After three and a half years, she and
her husband relocated to Round Rock, Texas where
they now live with a dog, turtle, and one large fish
tank.  They a
lso have two children.
