My interest in biomedical engineering stems from my own personal and familial experiences with biomedical devices. As someone with type 1 diabetes I have seen the way biomedical engineering can change a person’s life, biomedical engineering allows us to help people suffering from a range of medical conditions by understanding the biological and chemical principles behind a disease and applying engineering concepts treat the source of the problem.

I completed my Bachelor’s Degree at Stony Brook University in Biomedical Engineering in May 2018. During my undergraduate career, I worked in Dr. Isaac Carrico’s Organic Chemistry lab, completed multiple internships in both industry and academia, and was a member of both the American Red Cross Club and the Student Blood Drive Committee. Now, I am continuing my education at Stony Brook and expanding on my research in Dr. Carrico’s lab.

After graduating with my Master’s, I plan to work in the biotech industry on the research and develop of novel immunotherapeutics in the hopes of creating a product that can help people improve their health and their lives.

When I’m not in class or lab, I like to spend time with family and friends trying new foods and activities, traveling to new places, or just spending time at home watching movies together.
