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.

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.

 Past Works.

  • Automated Verification System

    Verifying firmware changes of blood pressure modules was taking too long. I created an automatic test system to reduce that process from several days to less than two hours and made it so anyone could run testing, not just experienced engineers.

  • Light-Sheet Microscope

    Slicing delicate tissue samples can destroy the delicate structures inside, so the Greenbaum Lab created a process to render those samples transparent, allowing them to be imaged whole. I designed and built a light-sheet microscope to image them

  • Medicine Packaging Accessibility

    Blister packs provide a safe, reliable way to package medication. However, blister packs can be extremely difficult to open for the people who need them most. It was my goal to design a way to open blister packs in a way that is accessible to those with limited arm and hand function.
