I am currently a PhD Candidate working on research in the applications of Thomistic theology to current debates about theology and science.

I worked in the world renowned Equine Orthopedic Research Center at Colorado State University. During my time working with the EORC I gained experience in laboratory skills such as paraffin histology, staining procedures, microscopy, necropsy, and sterile surgical procedures. In addition to these skills, I also assisted in multiple research projects addressing the use of imaging technology, accurate treatment of persistent joint injury, and translational applications of these studies.

During my first year studying at Colorado State University, I founded a chapter of the Veritas Forum at my university. I recruited a team of students to organize the chapter, and plan for yearly events. The Veritas Forum is dedicated to asking philosophical questions and inviting university students to engage. I presided over the chapter for two years after founding it. Each year I engaged with professors and experts around the country and invited them to come and join in our event. I worked to cater and organize the proceedings of the event. I also drafted strategic marketing plans to engage 200-300 students, staff, and faculty each year.

I am currently working on Animal Genetics Research with both the University of Edinburgh and Scotland's Rural College.
