About Me:
My journey in biomedical engineering started at the University of North Texas where I studied Biomedical engineering with a focus in Mechanical Engineering and mathematics. I happily moved from Texas to Florida when given the opportunity to research the cardiovascular system alongside Dr. Keshav.
Now, I am a teaching and research assistant at Florida Tech while I pursue my PhD. I was awarded the American Heart Association (AHA) 2-year Predoctoral Fellowship for my research on quantifying cerebral aneurysm hemodynamics using virtual angiograms and deep learning. My aim as a biomedical engineer is to provide technology to create a new standard of healthcare for future generations. My current research involves optimizing ECMO therapy and exploring the angiogram procedure for better hemodynamic analysis. Read more about my research in the research project tab.
In my free time, I can be found playing with my cats, tending to my plants, or working on a miscellaneous art project. Additionally, I am the president of the women's ultimate frisbee club!
