Worked with university professor and medical school students to analyze and compile craniofacial injury data, resulting in 3 published manuscripts, 2 of which I was the principal investigator and first author. All research was published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. As first author, I was responsible for study design, data collection, manuscript writing, and editing. My primary responsibilities were reviewing, collecting, and analyzing injury data involving youth baseball injuries.

Wrote and designed a media campaign describing the importance of using safety gear in sports, followed by its implementation in outreach events focusing on youth baseball and softball players. A variety of adds and flyers were made and handed out to local youth to explain the importance of using protective equipment in sports.

Alongside the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Miami Marlins RBI Program, created an outreach program by which over 400 mouthguards were given to players and caretakers at inner-city baseball and softball programs. Two community outreach events took place in South Florida. One event was held at a University of Miami Men’s Baseball Game, and another was held on the opening day of the Miami Marlins RBI Program youth baseball league. In addition to handing out protective equipment and informational pamphlets, question and answer sessions were held to discuss injury prevention, creating an interactive dialogue and message to hundreds of youth baseball players about the importance of protective gear to prevent injuries.

Developed novel approaches to evaluate mechanics for athletes. Used Augmented and Virtual Reality technology to design new methods for returning to sports following injury.
