•Worked in Post Market Vigilance as a Quality Engineer•Utilized Excel to complete 144 complaint analyses for three quarters of ongoing risk management reports•Collaborated with technicians to update complaint investigations protocols used to confirm failure modes on returned devices•Supported released product quality engineering with test method validation remediation by categorizing inspections, assigning severities, and writing a test method validation protocol•Trained to ISO 13485 and 21 CFR 820

Northwestern University

•Led incoming engineering student through a two-hour hands-on instruction course about basic lab procedures and how to use shop machines -mill, lathe, horizontal and vertical bandsaws, laser cutter, hand tools•Assisted anyone in the shop with tools, machinery, material selection, or design •Engaged with students in order to produce an informative, creative, and safe environment •Created quarterly projects assigned by the Shop Managers and personal projects to improve machining and design skills

Franklin Park, Il

•Compiled research from motion capture study, kinematic analyses, and academic literature to inform design decisions•Gained proficiency in the Vicon Nexus system and The Motion Monitor software

Franklin Park, Il

•Designed experiments and user-testing surveys. Collected and analyzed data to inform design decisions •Communicated design decisions through executive summaries and presentations •Used a VO2 system, pressure mats, digital force gauge, and motion capture system•Created information guides and protocols for the motion capture system to make a streamlined process for future users •Analyzed kinematic data to draw comparative conclusions between exercise machines and natural motion

Northwestern University Feinberg School Of Medicine

•Researched and evaluated the utility of the Wii Balance Board for movement quantification•Explored existing programs that use the Wii Balance Board for gaming or rehabilitation•The ultimate goal of the research was to code and actualize a research experiment intended to test pediatric subjects to determine if there is a relationship between the EMG firing in children developing with cerebral palsy and children developing without cerebral palsy. The Wii Balance Board will help with interpretation to determine if muscles are firing closer to maximum to ensure we are comparing similar tasks in the two groups.
