Biomedical Engineering

Major and anticipated graduation date:  Biomedical Engineering major with a concentration in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering and a minor in Anthropology of Global Health Expected graduation date: May 2024.

Academic Background: Hello! I am a Biomedical Engineering major on the pre-med track, minoring in the anthropology of global health. I am an out-of-state student from Rhode Island, and I spent my first two years at UConn Stamford.

Research Interests: My research interests are primarily in the area of public health and how we can apply advanced technology and methods learned in Biomedical Engineering in a way that is optimal and accessible to everyone.

Interests/Hobbies: When I am not busy with school, I like to destress by building Lego sets, especially the car sets and the botanical garden collection and the random Legos ranging from a mini tuk-tuk to parrots. I also have a deep interest in mentoring because I believe that you not only learn best from those who have experienced it first-hand, but you can also learn from others who are currently in the same boat.
