What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities in research-focused environments that foster collaboration and innovation.

I am an ambitious first-year student in the Commonwealth Honors College at UMass Amherst, focusing on cancer research and preventive medicine. My passion lies in improving healthcare outcomes and positively impacting lives through rigorous data collection and analysis. I am eager to contribute to research teams and apply my skills in real-world settings.

Currently, I work as a Research Assistant at the Physical Activity and Health Lab, where I conduct research on resistance training using wearable accelerometers. My role involves analyzing movement patterns and collaborating on algorithm development to enhance resistance training tracking technology. Additionally, I have gained valuable insights into clinical workflows through my internship with New England Orthopedic Surgeons, where I shadowed orthopedic surgeons and improved my communication skills.
