About Me.
Inspiration.
In middle school, I saw an Instagram post of an early 3D-printed prosthetic limb. I decided there and then that I wanted to pursue a career in prosthetics. Since then, I've expanded my focus to medical device design in general, but I still have that passion for innovating in a way that makes a tangible, positive impact on peoples' lives.
Education.
North Carolina State University
I completed my undergraduate career at NCSU, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a BS in Biomedical Engineering with concentrations in Biomechanics and Biomedical Optical Signals. I also completed a Spanish minor and received my Six Sigma Green Belt certification my senior year.
Duke University
I recently graduated with a Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering from Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering. I also received a certificate in Medical Device Design, a program that fosters skills in product design across the entire design lifecycle, regulatory compliance, design for manufacture, and more.
