As a product design engineer at Arthrex, I designed and developed Class I and Class II medical devices. My primary focus has been on the development of Nitinol Orthopedic implants for the foot and ankle, as well as implants with traditional materials. The most successful product line I worked on became the fastest growing in company history, with over $40 million in revenue annually. After launch I used root cause analysis techniques to solve several post-launch design issues. Once this product reached maturity, I redesigned several of the instruments to save over $300k in COGs annually, by reducing assembly steps from nine to three, and assembly components from sixteen to six. • Met with end users to collect and clarify user needs to guide design solutions• Applied engineering skills and principles to design products for injection molding, ultrasonic welding, traditional machining, laser-cutting, EDM, and rapid prototyping• Modified parts for rapid ideation using Mini Lathe and Mini 4-axis mill• Prepared and support FDA applications and responses for Class II devices• Prepared CAD models and engineering drawings using principles of GD&T in Pro/E and Solidworks• Interfaced with vendors to produce prototypes and final product with cost and design for manufacturing in mind• Designed and complete mechanical testing protocols and reports, creating custom jigs as needed • Analyze Nitinol device prototypes with Finite Element Analysis.• Review prior art for freedom to operate concerns and areas for patentability • Assist in the creation of patent applications, with four issued patents and two patents pending• Maintain electronic design history file.

• Designed novel Internal Distal Radial Fracture Fixation System• Collaborated with orthopedic surgeon during needs finding process and incorporated doctors feedback into prototype iterations• Worked with machine shop to create prototypes from CAD models.• Created design history file• Acted as team leader in a group of four, assuring the meeting of deliverables timelines, and facilitating presentations and group meetings.

Earned my masters In Mechanical Engineering in the Orthopaedic and Developmental Biomechanics Laboratory at Boston University. I investigated the relationships between measures of density of vertebra with the risk of vertebral fracture and disc degeneration associated with age. Skills needed to complete my project:Data analysisImage analysisStudy designGUI design in MatlabManaging and mentoring other students

As a teaching fellow at the Junior College, I worked with my Mentor to facilitate weekly lab sessions in an introductory course in Biology. In this position I had the opportunity to lecture on a number of Biology topics. As a fellow I attended monthly seminars with other fellows and regular meetings with my mentor wherein we discussed and studied pedagogical techniques and theory in order to improve teaching skills.

Manufactured and shaped Prosthetics and Orthotic devices.Assisted clinician in patient fitting, assessment and delivery of Prosthetics.Studied biomechanics and gait analysis with Prosthetist.

I assisted my professor by evaluating student work and helping maintain his grade book. I advised students on lab work and assignments, and clarified complex course content from lectures.

The Human Performance Lab at Sonoma State was a facility which performed exercise tests on paying community members, on interested students and on subjects in ongoing exercise performance studies. Tests included body composition measurements including Bod Pod, Hydrostatic testing, and skin fold tests as well as VO2 Max testing. As the lab assistant I prepared computers and testing equipment for tests and created testing protocols.
