## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m interested in opportunities in healthcare, research, and patient-centered service where I can apply my scientific literacy, research experience, and service-oriented strengths.
```

## About

```text
At the University of Texas at Austin, I researched how intracellular reactive oxygen species affect antibiotic tolerance in bacterial swarming. I prepared and cultured E. coli for growth experiments, analyzed plate images, and prepared a research presentation and summary.

At Edward Waters University, I supported a project examining airborne pollen in Northeast Florida. I collected and quantified pollen samples, prepared reagent slides, and transferred data into spreadsheets; this research contributed to a 2024 publication in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

As an Amgen HBCU Biotech Fellow, I collaborated on a capstone project exploring data analytics and machine learning for predictive maintenance in biologistics manufacturing. The fellowship also provided professional development and exposure to biotechnology.

I’m interested in healthcare, research, and patient-centered service. My experience also includes office administration, community engagement, and mentoring students.
