What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level chemical engineering role where I can apply process modeling, sustainability analysis, carbon capture, separations, and AI-assisted optimization to real-world engineering challenges.

I've modeled sustainable hyaluronic acid production in Aspen Plus and Python, evaluating downstream purification, heat integration, and Atmospheric Spray Freeze Drying to reduce energy use.

Through chemical engineering coursework and projects at the University of Maryland, I've analyzed carbon capture systems, membrane separations, mass transfer, reaction kinetics, process sustainability, and AI-assisted process optimization.

At Village Green Apothecary, I supported compounding operations, maintained quality-focused workflows, monitored inventory discrepancies, and handled high-volume pharmacy transactions.
