I graduated from University of North Texas (UNT) as a Distinguished Honors Scholar with my bachelors in Biology. Following graduation, worked at Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) where I gained valuable leadership experience and communication/customer service skills. During this time I was also able to pursue personal interests before starting my masters degree. In 2019 I began my Masters degree at University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). While at UTD, I had the pleasure of doing research in a bioengineering lab where I have learned many practical laboratory skills. Following graduation, I continued my project as a Research Assistant while teaching summer research students. In September of 2022 I started working at Boston Institute of Biotechnology as an Associate Scientist where I have gained experience in both cell line development and upstream process development.
