Biography

I am originally from Roswell, Georgia.  I miss the south but I enjoy traveling to new places and meeting new people. I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at The Ohio State University and received a minor in Biomedical Engineering.  I am very excited about graduate school! I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering.  My next major goal is to use my medical and engineering knowledge, as well as my interest in people and creative development, in some form of clinical setting.  I enjoy snowboarding, eating, and any activity in the sunshine.
