What I'm looking for

I'm eager to begin an industry role where I can become a solutions-driven asset in medical device design, especially biomedical R&D involving biologics, tissue engineering, and clinical biochemical applications.

I've supported surgical robotics projects at Brainlab, where I built and programmed an accelerated lifetime testing chamber, justified heated accelerated lifetime testing, and delivered accessible documentation and a department-wide presentation.

In the Moulton Biomedical Research Lab, I'm advancing understanding of antibody-oligonucleotide conjugate delivery to the central nervous system through ELISA development, mammalian cell culture, flow cytometry, and HPLC training.

I've also designed CAD models and laser-cutting protocols for experimental wrist implants, combining hands-on device development with biomaterials, tissue engineering, and biochemical research interests.
